Two-and-a-half hours of weather delays couldn’t keep the LSU men’s golf team down at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate tournament in Awendaw, S.C.
The No. 12 Tigers posted a team score of even-par-284 in Monday’s chilly, difficult second round and held steady at second place with a two-day total of 3-under 565.
LSU took the lead late in the day before No. 6 Augusta State’s late-evening push jumped them two shots ahead of the Tigers.
Senior Andrew Loupe finished with a late flurry of birdies to shoot a 2-under 70 and tie for third place with a 36-hole total of 3-under 141.
Senior John Peterson played another solid round, using 14 pars and two birdies to post an even-71. He is tied for third with a two-round total of 3-under 141.
Despite a late double bogey, junior Sang Yi carded a 1-over 72 and is tied for 29th going into today’s final round.
Freshman Andrew Presley could not keep the momentum going into Monday’s second round, as a slew of high numbers led to an 8-over 79.
