Lu Goes Low At The Goodwin

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Shawn Lu fired a 6-under 65 to lead the Oregon State men's golf team in the second round of The Goodwin on Friday.

Lu, a sophomore from Honolulu, Hawai'i, had six birdies in his bogey-free round to move 52 spots up the leaderboard and into ninth place with a 4-under 73-65--138.

He finished in a career-best tie for fifth place at the Duck Invitational earlier this week. His best career round is a 7-under 64 at the Saint Mary's Invitational this past fall.

As a team, the Beavers moved up four spots and into a tie for 10th place in the 26-team field with a 5-over 290-283--573 at the par-71, 7,143-yard TPC Harding Park.

Sophomore Kyosuke Hara was also sensational in the second round, posting a 3-under 68 that included six birdies. He moved 43 spots up the leaderboard and into a tie for 18th place with a 1-under 73-68--141.

"It is fun to watch these guys compete," Oregon State head coach Jon Reehoorn said. "To go around Harding Park without a bogey by Shawn is very impressive and Kyosuke was right there with him to the end.

"As a team we've played our way into the afternoon wave tomorrow and now it's important we just keep doing what has got us here and that's smart, discipline golf."

Freshman Spencer Tibbits (71-76) and junior Trevor Yu (73-74) are tied for 72nd place with a 5-over 147 and freshman Keaton Gudz is tied for 126th with a 13-over 75-80--135.

No. 9 Oklahoma (20-under 548) has a five-stroke lead over No. 11 California (15-under 553) for the team title and Oregon's Norman Xiong (12-under 130) has a four-stroke advantage over Stanford's Jeffrey Swegle (8-under 134) for the individual crown.

There will be a double shotgun in Saturday's final round, starting with the morning wave on the first and 10th tees at 7:30 a.m. and the afternoon group at 12:20 p.m. The Beavers will start at 12:25 p.m. and be paired with San Francisco and Washington.
