NCAA Championship Results
STILLWATER, Okla. – 20th-seeded and 24th-ranked NC State is in 28th place after two rounds at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship at the par-72, 7,416-yard Karsten Creek layout.
The Wolfpack, who is making its 16th appearance in the NCAA Finals, moved up one spot in the field of 30 teams after the first two of three stroke-play rounds. The field will be cut down to eight teams after 54 holes and will compete in a three-day match play format that will settle who wins the national title.
NC State owns a 36-hole team score of 42-over 618 after rounds of 22-over 310 and 20-over 308 over the last two days of competition.
Sophomore Mitchell Sutton and freshman Albin Choi are tied for 78th to lead the Pack. Sutton fired a second-consecutive 4-over 76, while Choi finished at 2-over 74, the best round so far for the Wolfpack at the championship.
Both All-Region players birdied No. 18 on the day to end on a high note for tomorrow’s final round.
Senior Brandon Detweiler had one bad hole and that left him at 6-over 78 today and is tied for 105th. A quadruple bogey at the par-4 tenth halted a steady round to that point when he was just one shot over par.
Junior Chad Day turned in a second-straight 8-over 80 and is tied for 136th. He carded a team-high three birdies on his round on Wednesday.
Junior Graham Baillargeon had a tough day with a 13-over 85 and is tied for 146th
ACC champion Georgia Tech continues to lead the field, and is in at 3-under 573 with one round remaining. UCLA is one shot back and the only other team under par, followed by Illinois (578), Georgia (579) and Alabama (580).
John Peterson of LSU shot a competitive course-record 7-under 65 today and leads by one stroke at 5-under 139. First-day leader James White of Georgia Tech is in at 4-under 140.
