DAY TWO RESULTS
COLLEGE GROVE, TN – On day two of the Franklin American Mortgage Intercollegiate at The Grove, Middle Tennessee shot a round of 290 and stand in third place. The Blue Raiders have a 36-hole total of 582.
Ole Miss owns the overall lead by one stroke over Georgia Tech. The Rebels shot a 285 while the Yellow Jackets carded an impressive 276 on Monday. Cincinnati is in fourth followed by Liberty in fifth.
"The course played very easy today so it was a disappointing start to the round after playing so well yesterday," said Head Coach Brennan Webb. "We did manage some birdies down the stretch to salvage the day. Marcus continued his solid play and I am excited that he has a chance to go compete for the individual title tomorrow."
Marcus Byrd had the sixth-best round of the day with a 69 to move into a tie for third overall. Byrd, who has nine birdies for the tournament, is just three shots back of last year's champion, Braden Thornberry.
Tyler Johnson had a one-over par 73 and is tied for seventh in the field. Johnson had two birdies on the back Monday and now has seven for the tournament.
James Beckner is tied for 18th after posting a 75. He has a 148 total and had an eagle on No. 7.
Chip Thomas bounced back from a disappointing first round for a one-over par 73 on day two. Thomas has a 152 total and enjoyed an eagle on the par 4 16th hole Monday.
Ilari Saulo registered a 77 in round two and is tied for 42nd.
The Blue Raiders also have four individuals in the field led by sophomore Tanner Owens who had an even par 72 on Monday and is tied for 18th overall. Owens had three birdies on the day.
Hoyeong Kim added a 74 and is tied for 50th while Graham Gosselin shot a 77 and is tied for 55th. Alessandro Noseda turned in a 76 and is tied for 57th.
