Coastal Carolina men’s golf team score of 275 is tied for the fifth-lowest in CCU history
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Behind four rounds under par on the day, the Coastal Carolina men's golf team shot a team-low score of 275, 13-under par, over the second round of play at the Any Given Tuesday (AGT) Intercollegiate on Monday held at the Oak Point Golf Club on Kiawah Island, S.C.
The Chanticleers' team score of 275 is tied for the fifth-lowest 18-hole team score in program history along with a second-round 275, 9-under par, at the 2018 Sun Belt Championship and a 275, 5-under par, over the second round at the 2013 NCAA Championship.
With the lowest-team round of the day, the Chants moved into a tie for first-place overall on the team leaderboard with Kennesaw State at 557, 19-under par.
The co-leaders are 13 strokes in front of FGCU (570, -6) while Jacksonville State (572, -4) and co-host Charleston Southern (583, +7) round out the top five on the team standings.
"It was a good day today. The course played tougher today for sure and the guys played great. I feel like everyone scored their ball well for how they hit it and that is the sign of good play," commented head coach Jim Garren. "Great rounds by both Tyler (Gray) and Seth (Taylor) today. The goal was to get in position today to give ourselves a chance to win and I feel like we accomplished that goal."
Leading the way for the Chants on day two of the AGT Intercollegiate was junior Tyler Gray with a CCU career-low round of 66, 6-under par. The South Carolina native carded six birdies, three each on both the front and back nine, to go along with 12 pars for his round of 66 on Monday. Coupled with his first-round 73, +1, Gray will enter the final day of play tomorrow just two shots off the lead and in a tie for fifth place overall at 139, 5-under par.
Just two strokes behind Gray was fellow Chant Seth Taylor with his 18-hole score of 68, 4-under par. The second-year Chant dropped five shots off his first-round 73, +1, from Sunday, by shooting a 34, 2-under par, on both the front and back nine. He registered five birdies, one bogey, and 12 pars on the day to climb up into a tie for 11th overall at 141, 3-under par.
Leading the Chants and heading into the third day of play tomorrow in a tie for third overall is Zack Taylor at 138, 6-under par. Following his first-round 67, 5-under par, yesterday, the fifth-year senior shot a 71, 1-under par, on Monday which included four birdies, three bogeys, and 11 pars overall. The Pennsylvania native is just one stroke back of the co-leaders with 18 holes to play.
Also shooting under par for the second-straight day was fellow veteran Chant golfer States Fort. The fifth-year Chant posted his second consecutive round of 70, 2-under par, to place in a tie for seventh overall on the individual leaderboard at 140, 4-under par. Fort had an up-and-down round that saw two birdies and two bogeys on the front nine and four birdies on the back nine before a double-bogey on hole No. 18.
Rounding out the lineup on Monday were juniors Connor Newton and Brady Hinkle with rounds of 73, +1, and 74, +2, respectively.
Newton bounced back from a 38, +2, on the front nine to shoot a 35, 1-under par, on the back nine to finish with his round of 73, +1. With his first-round 72, even par, the junior is in a tie for 17th overall at 145, +1, after the first two rounds of play.
Hinkle dropped five shots off his first-round 79, +7, from Sunday with two birdies, two bogeys, one double-bogey, and 13 pars for his round of 74, +2, on Monday. The third-year Chant sits in a tie for 47th overall with his 36-hole score of 153, +9.
