FGCU M. Golf: Golfweek Program Challenge Recap- Day Two

Senior Andrew Potter fired a second-round 70 (-2) and sits in a tie for 15th-place individually, while the FGCU men's golf team jumped up two spots into a tie for eighth after a second-round 289 (+1) at the Golfweek Program Championship at the True Blue Golf Course in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The Australian sits at 141 (-3) for the tournament and is eight strokes back of Max Theodorakis (Campbell) in first, who shot a tournament-low 63 in Monday's second round. The Eagles are currently tied with Delaware as a team.

"We competed well once again," FGCU head coach Eric Booker said. "We didn't do too well on the third hole, shooting six shots over par combined, but I'm confident we can break through in tomorrow's final round."

Despite that third hole, which featured a pair of double-bogeys, junior Doug Smith (9th hole) and Potter (4th hole) each produced an eagle on a par-5. Outside of the third and fourth holes, Smith went 1-under. Freshman Chase Bigham had a team-high five birdies and improved his first-round score by two strokes.

Bigham and sophomore Cole Castro each tied for second on the team in Monday's round with even-par 72's as Bigham cut two strokes off his opening-round score, while Castro shaved one stroke off his first-round total.

Campbell University shot a 274 (-14) in the second round and now owns a 19 stroke lead over second-place Gardner-Webb (562, -14). Old Dominion sits in third with a 567 (-9).
