Junior Tom Haberer holds a share of the individual lead with one round to play at the Palmas del Mar Collegiate.
HUMACAO, P.R. – Through 36 holes, the Wake Forest men's golf team is tied with TCU for first place at the Palmas del Mar Collegiate after Monday's second round. The No. 25 Demon Deacons posted a 281 (-7) to hold at 13-under as a team.
Wake Forest saw five players shoot under par in the second round, highlighted by junior Tom Haberer's near-flawless round. His only bogey came on the final hole, but six birdies pushed the Hildesheim, Germany native to nine-under, where he sits tied for first and in the hunt for his first collegiate title.
Haberer and junior Nicholas Prieto each shot a low 67 (-5) and sit at nine-under and five-under, respectively, through two rounds.
Freshman Maddux Cook and Lorenzo Rodriguez both sit tied for 13th at two-under after Rodriguez shot 70 (-2) and Cook posted an even-par 72 in the second round. Senior Jakob Melin is one-under following a 73 (+1) on Monday.
Competing as an individual, senior Boyd Owens fired a season-best 68 (-4), highlighted by two eagles and two birdies. He climbed 26 spots on the leaderboard and now sits tied for 26th.
The Deacs will tee off for the final round beginning with a shotgun start at 7:00 a.m. (ET) paired with players from TCU, Rhode Island and UNCG.

From Coach Haas:
"Very solid way to start the spring, having a chance to win our first event. We were a few shots away today at the crucial times of having a wonderful day. No matter what time of year it's always great to be representing the Old Gold and Black. TCU played a very good round, which shows there is a hot round out there. We will have to play well tomorrow to win this tournament. Thank you to UNCG for hosting, it's been a great few days down here in Puerto Rico. The weather has been fantastic. Go Deacs!"
