WILMINGTON, NC - The Wake Forest men's golf team carded a 36-hole total of 595 and are currently in the a tie for sixth through two rounds of the Seahawk Invitational at the Landfall Country Club in Wilmington, NC.
The Deacons opened the day with a round of 6-over 294 and were in a tie for third but the weather changed in the afternoon and the scores went up. Wake would post a 13-over 301 in the afternoon and slipped back to a tie for sixth.
"The afternoon round was very different from the morning round," said Wake Forest head coach Jerry Haas. "The wind really picked-up and the temperature dropped. It made scoring pretty tough but the guys hung in there. They hit a lot of good shots and made a lot of pars but we need to finish a little better. I think we'll do that tomorrow."
Augusta State, the ninth-ranked team in the country, had a very good day and currently lead the tournament by 19-shots over South Carolina. ASU carded an 8-under 280 in the opening round and led by 14-shots. A 289 in round two extended the lead to 19-shots through 36-holes.
Jake Colley of East Carolina and Patrick Reed of Augusta State each finished the day at 4-under,139 and lead the individual race by two shots.
For the Deacs, senior Brendan Gielow led the way with rounds of 71-75=146 (+2) and is currently tied for 11th. Sophomore Lee Bedford also played well on Monday, posting scores of 73-75 to sit tied for 16th at 4-over.
Freshman Evan Beck bounced-back from an opening 76 to post a 74 in round two and is tied for 24th at 6-over while fellow freshman Charlie Harrison and senior Travis Wadkins are each 8-over par and tied for 33rd.
Sophomore Daniel Meggs is playing as an individual this week. He carded rounds of 76-75 and is tied for 28th at 7-over.
The Deacs will start the final round at 8:00 am Tuesday morning and are paired with East Carolina and Georgia State. The weather forecast is not favorable for the Wilmington area on Tuesday. Temperatures are not expected to leave the 40s with a 90 percent chance of rain.
