Beavers Respond With Great Second Round At Pac-12’s
April 22, 2019 | Men's Golf
EUGENE, Ore. – After a tough start to the 60th Annual Pac-12 Championship on Monday, the Oregon State men's golf team responded with a great second round to put them in position to move up the leaderboard over the next 36 holes.
The Beavers shot a 26-over 381 in the morning before bouncing back with an even-par 355 in the afternoon at the par-71, 7,044-yard Eugene Country Club. They were 22 over through the first nine holes but played the next 27 holes in only 4 over.
Oregon State is in 11th place with a 26-over 736 but only 10 strokes behind Washington (16-over 362-364--726) and five back of Arizona (21-over 367-364--731).
The third round of the three-day, 72-hole tournament will begin at 10 a.m. on Tuesday off No. 1 and No. 10 and live scoring is available at golfstat.com. The Beavers will start at 11:06 a.m. on the 10th hole and be paired with Arizona and Washington State.
"We got punched in the face from the very start today," Oregon State head coach Jon Reehoorn said. "Trevor Yu hit a tee shot that went in the trees and we didn't find it in the long rough. It started one of the worst nine holes we've played all season.
"This afternoon was more like the team we have seen for this spring season. In this format we still have 10 rounds to count. That's almost as many as one regular 5-count-4 event. We need to get some rest this evening, talk about how to better approach the front nine and be ready to do what we've been doing."
Spencer Tibbits opened the tourney with a 4-over 75 before shooting a team-best 4-under 67 after the lunch break to move 34 spots up the leaderboard and into a tie for 12th place with an even-par 142. The 67 is the 15th sub-par round of his sophomore campaign and his sixth in the 60's.
Sean Kato also got hot in the second round, posting a 2-under 69, after opening with a 4-over 75 that vaulted him 20 spots up the board and into a tie for 26th place with a 2-over 144. The freshman now has 12 rounds in red figures this season with five in the 60's.
Shawn Lu had the biggest improvement over the two rounds to move into a tie for 55th place with a 7-over 80-69--149. He had four birdies in the afternoon after posting two in the first round.
"I'm really proud of Spencer, Sean and Shawn for the way they bounced back today," Reehoorn said.
Kyosuke Hara is tied with Lu for 55th place with a 7-over 73-76--149. He had five birdies over the first two rounds.
Nolan Thoroughgood sits in 65th place with a 12-over 78-76--154 and Trevor Yu is in 69th with a 15-over 83-74--157.
Stanford and UCLA are tied for first place with a 5-under 705, while Kyler Dunkle of Utah and Justin Suh of USC share the individual lead with an 8-under 134.
Pac-12 Networks will air live coverage of the finishing holes in the final round of the championships on Wednesday, April 24 at 2 p.m.
