GREENVILLE, S.C.---The Chattanooga Mocs men’s golf team is in ninth at the Furman Intercollegiate after another 295 (+7) on Furman Golf Course. The squad is 14-over par (590), four behind Virginia Tech and four ahead of Akron.

According to coach Mark Guhne, the squad is not far from where it’d like to be.

“We are so very close to scoring like we are capable of,” he said. “We played the back side just the way we wanted, then turned and didn’t make our move. We can’t get that low round right now. I know it’s coming, Time to make it happen.”

The Mocs started on No. 10 today. After shooting 11 over finishing on the back nine yesterday, they were 3 over heading to the front. Rather than the 4 under shot in round one, the squad dropped four more shots to finish at 7 over.

Wes Gosselin led the way with an even-par 72. He matched three birdies against three pars with 12 pars. He is 3 over for the tourney, one behind Liam Johnston and Andrew Weathers at +2. Johnston shot 74 (+2) today, while Weathers carded a second straight 73. Kory Webb added 76 to the 295 total. Ewan Scott had the drop score with a 77. Zac Stolz came in with a 75, just ahead of Brooks Thomas‘ 76 with the duo playing as individuals.

Georgia State (570) fired an 8-under par 280 to take a five shot lead over USC Aiken at 575. Troy is third at 578. Western Carolina’s J.T. Poston is the leader with an 8-under total of 136. He is one up on GSU’s J.J. Grey whose 66 (-6) tied for the low round of the day.

A 10:30 a.m., shotgun start awaits the field. Chattanooga is paired with Akron and Furman opening on holes 7-10.
