Fisk Fires School Record 60, Climbs to Third at Princeville Makai Invite

The junior has claimed medalist honors in the last two tournaments.

PRINCEVILLE, Hawaii – Steven Fisk shot a course and school record 60 to move into third place in the second round of the Warrior Princeville Makai Invitational Monday at Makai Golf Club.

Fisk (-13) was 12-under-par on the day to move up 31 spots into third on the individual leaderboard. The junior is four shots back of leader Hayden Buckley of Missouri and two behind Louisville's Simon Zach with 18 holes left tomorrow.

Fisk topped the school record by three strokes. Six Eagles have shot 63 with the most recent by teammate Brett Barron last season at the Furman Intercollegiate. It was Fisk's sixth time shooting under 70 this year in 11 rounds of golf. The junior had a 16-footer for birdie and a 59 on his final hole that just slipped past the cup. 
 
Jake Storey and Luukas Alakulppi each shot 73 today, and Archer Price carded a 74. Barron posted a 76. 

The Eagles got back to even par today with 280 as a team but remain in 16th place.

Louisville (-41) leads the field, and Missouri (-36) is second. UCLA (-29) moved into third, San Diego State (-28) is fourth and Sam Houston State is fifth (-26).

The field features eight top-50 squads, according to Golfstat, including the 32nd-ranked Eagles. Ten individuals are ranked in the top-100 in the country, including Fisk, who is ranked ninth.

The story 
Fisk started on hole 10 today and made birdie on his first two holes. The junior birdied hole 14 and then made six birdies in a row, starting on 16, as he made the turn to the front. He eagled the par-5 5th for the second day in a row and added a birdie on 7.

Storey, who started on hole 11, birdied his first hole of the day and added a birdie on 18. He made eight straight pars to cap his round.

Alakulppi also started on 11 and played his first six holes 1-under. The sophomore finished strong as well with three pars and a birdie on his last four holes.

Quotables from Coach Carter Collins
"Steven played incredible today in breaking the course record here in Hawaii and breaking our school record with a 12-under 60." 

"Each person on the team played better today than they did yesterday, and we posted a better team score by 16. We are looking forward to more of the same tomorrow and ending our great trip on a high note."

Next up
GS is paired with San Diego, Missouri-Kansas City and Cap Poly for tomorrow's third and final round. The Eagles tee off holes 10-12 in a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. local time.
