PINEHURST, N.C. – The Marshall men's golf team finished the second round of the Pinehurst Intercollegiate, Saturday at Pinehurst No. 8.
The Thundering Herd is tied for seventh out of 13 teams.
"Today was a really challenging day on the golf course and I really liked the way the guys responded to the adverse conditions," Herd head coach Matt Grobe said. "Tyler Jones improved by four strokes over his first round and led the team with a 3-over 74. He finished his round with a great birdie! Ben Roeder continued his solid play and I am looking for a great round out of him tomorrow.
"Brad Plaziak continues to play solid golf. He had one of the best up and downs for the par on the ninth hole that I have ever seen. Cole Moore really battled hard today and played great on his final nine holes. Kyle Mitchell played well today and had our biggest improvements of six strokes from his first round. Cameron Root continues to be solid but still hasn't seen the birdie putts drop. I am looking for him to get some tomorrow.
"Christian Boyd improved three strokes over yesterday and I really like what we are seeing out of our latest addition. Will Straub really hit the ball well today. Matt Hoffman is playing some good golf right now but the score is not reflecting it. I look for him to get back on track tomorrow.
"I am looking forward to watching these guys compete and improve tomorrow. Should be a great day for the Herd on the golf course."
As a team, Marshall improved by one shot from the first round. Freshman Tyler Jones jumped up 13 spots on the leaderboard and is tied for 14th along with redshirt senior Ben Roeder. Sophomore Kyle Mitchell, playing as an individual, also moved up 13 places on the leaderboard with the 6-stroke improvement.
Elon continues to lead and is now 16-shots up on Davidson. Graham Hutchinson of Elon holds the lead by two strokes over Gustav Fransson of Old Dominion.
The third round begins Sunday morning with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. Live scoring is provided by GolfStat.com.
