NOBLESVILLE, Ind. – Scott Wolfes fired a 67 and moved into a seven-way tie for 10th in the individual standings, and the Eagles shot 297 and are in ninth place after the second round of the NCAA Regional at The Sagamore Club Friday.
The Eagles (+22) are 13 strokes behind UNLV (+9), which sits in fifth. The top five teams and the low individual not on those teams from each regional will advance to the NCAA Finals at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Fla., May 29-June 3.
Wolfes (+1) is eight strokes behind current leader Jonathan Garrick of UCLA (-7) and three strokes behind Xavier's Jose Montano (-2), who is the top individual not on a current top-5 team.
SMU (-3) was the only team to shoot par today, which catapulted the Mustangs into the lead. Colorado (+1) shot 12-over today after posting 11-under yesterday and is in second, followed by Illinois (+3) and UCLA (+6). Oregon (+14) is sixth, and seven strokes separate places 7-11.
Georgia Southern teed off hole 10 today, and Wolfes logged eight birdies, including three in a row on holes 14, 15 and 16 during a stretch in which he birdied six of eight holes.
The senior birdied hole 6 to move to 6-under. He slid a birdie putt five feet past the hole on No. 8 and wound up with a bogey after missing the ticklish par putt coming back. His 67 was the second lowest score on the course today, as Virginia Tech's Scott Vincent (-1) shot a 66 to move into a tie for seventh. The score moved Wolfes 43 spots up the leaderboard.
"Scott played very well off the tee, hit a lot of greens and putted well – he did everything well, which is what you have to do at a golf course like this," said coach Carter Collins. "It's one of the toughest courses we've seen all year and for Scott to shoot one of his better rounds of the year was huge for our team and gives us a chance going into tomorrow."
Andrew Klasing carded a 75, and Kim Koivu finished with a 76. Archer Price posted a 79, and Matt Mierzejewski finished with an 84.
Hole 8, a 217-yard par 3 up a hill with a gusty wind blowing left to right proved to be the toughest on the course today, and Georgia Southern gave some shots back at the end of the round. The Eagle counters played holes 8 and 9 at 7-over-par.
"We played pretty solid on the back nine – we were close to even making the turn and had some guys playing well," said Director of Golf Larry Mays. "Both par 3s on the front were just brutal today, and we made a couple bogeys coming in that hurt us."
The Eagles are paired with Alabama and Marquette in Saturday's third and final round, and will tee off hole 10 at 7 a.m. looking to climb into the top-5.
"You have to play a little more aggressive," said Mays. "You have to go after a few more shots and try to make a few more birdies, but the main thing is to try and eliminate our mistakes."
