AWENDAW, S.C. - Wake Forest senior Lee Bedford aced the 172-yard par-3 third hole at Bulls Bay Country Club on Monday to pace the Demon Deacons to a second round 299 at The Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate.
As a team, the Deacons are 21-over par and in 14th place with a round to go.
The hole-in-one was Bedford's first in competition as a Demon Deacon and the third of his career. His round on Monday got off to a wobbly start as he found himself 6-over par through 11 holes.

Junior Evan Beck opened with a round of 5-over 77 on Sunday but rebounded with a team-low 2-over 74 in round two. He made a total of three birdies in the round and is now tied for 58th at 7-over par.
Sophomore Thomas Birdsey is also 7-over par after his second round 75. Birdsey went out in 4-over 39 but just like Beck, he would play his final nine holes at 1-under par.
Charlie Harrison has started the tournament with a pair of matching 75s. He's made three birdies in each of the two rounds and is tied for 53rd at 6-over par.
Sophomore John Varol carded a 79 for the second-straight day and stands at 14-over par through two rounds.
Auburn shot the round of the day, a 13-under 275 and has opened-up a 7-shot lead on SEC-rival Kentucky and Texas A&M. The Tigers are 16-under through 36-holes. NC State and North Carolina represent the ACC in fourth and fifth place at 6-under and 5-under par, respectively.
Individually, Texas A&M's Cameron Peck leads the way at 7-under par. He has made just three bogeys in his two rounds of 70-67. Blayne Barber of Auburn is in second place 6-under par and there is a seven-way tie for third at 3-under.
