BRIDGEPORT, W. Va. – West Virginia native Mason Williams shot a 70, and the Georgia Southern men's golf team recorded the second-lowest score of the second round to move into a tie for fourth after 36 holes of the Mountaineer Invitational Monday at Pete Dye Golf Club.
The Eagles (+27) are tied with Loyola (Md.), two strokes behind Chattanooga in third and four ahead of UConn (+31) in sixth. Southern Mississippi (+13) leads the tournament, and host West Virginia (+16) is second.
Brett Barron (+4) is tied for sixth, and Williams (+5) is tied for ninth. Ben Carr (+9) and Jake Maples are tied for 20th. Only three players are at par or better for the tournament, and Williams' second-round 70 was tied for the second-lowest of the day. The eighth hole was the only one on the course that played under par.
Williams birdied his first two holes of the second round and made the turn at 1-under before adding a birdie at 12. He finished the long day with a birdie on the par-4, 500-yard 18th.
Barron played the first 12 holes of the second round 1-under and finished the day with a par to post 73 in the second round. The senior played the first 13 holes 1-over with a birdie at 10 to shoot a 75 in the first round.
Maples was even through the first 11 holes of the second round and finished the day with a par to shoot 75. Carr played the back nine 1-over with a birdie at 13 to card a 75 in the first round.
