Interview with
Steven Fisk
SANDESTIN, Fla. – Steven Fisk fired a course and tournament record 10-under-par 61 Monday, and Georgia Southern is tied for second after two rounds of the Sun Belt Men's Golf Championship at Raven Golf Club.
Fisk's total is one shy of the school record he shot in Hawaii in 2017, and the senior moved up 46 places into fourth on the individual leaderboard. He broke the 13-year-old course record and the Sun Belt Championship record shot by Coastal Carolina's Morgan Deneen last year.
Fisk had a clean card with 10 birdies. He started his day on the 10th hole and birdied the first two before missing a 10-foot birdie attempt on 12. He added birdies on 14, 15, 17 and 18 to make the turn with a 30. Fisk added birdies at 1, 4 and 5 and missed a 15-foot birdie putt at 6. He rolled in a birdie at 7 and two-putted from 40 feet at 9 for a 31.
The Eagles (-10) are tied for second with Coastal Carolina, three shots behind leader Arkansas State (-13) and four clear of Little Rock (-6). UTA is in fifth (-5). The top-4 teams advance to match play Wednesday, and the team and individual champion receive an automatic bid to NCAA Regionals.
Ben Carr shot even par on both sides to finish with a 71, and
Colin Bowles, who is making his Georgia Southern debut in the lineup, shot a 73.
