Schenkel Invitational Round 2 Results

STATESBORO, Ga. – Led by R.J. Keur and William Walker III who both shot two under 70s, the UAB men's golf team collectively shot two under in the second round of the Schenkel Invitational on Saturday at Forest Hills Country Club.

The Blazers enter Sunday's final round in a tie for ninth place overall at -1 with Notre Dame and East Tennessee State.

"William, R.J. and Murray all had nice rounds," head coach Mike Wilson said. "We had a very solid front nine and just couldn't get anything going on the back. We have a great opportunity to move up tomorrow with a total team effort."

Keur's two under followed up his even par from yesterday and he is in a tie for 20th with 18 holes to go at -2. Fellow teammate Murray Naysmith is also sitting at two under as he has shot a one under 71 in each of the first two rounds.

After a +3 yesterday, Walker III carded a -2 today and moved up 18 spots today into a tie for 40th place.

Taylor Eyster (+4) and John Hayden (+6) round out UAB's efforts through 36 holes, while freshman Nick Robillard is competing as an individual and is one under after two rounds with an even par yesterday and a one under 71 today.

Individually, Theo Humprey of Vanderbilt is the leader in the club house at -9 which has helped the Commodores take the team lead at -23. Kentucky (-14), Mississippi State (-11), Georgia Southern (-11), NC State (-8) and College of Charleston (-8) follow in order.

The Blazers will be paired with East Tennessee State and Minnesota in Sunday's final round and will tee off at 9:33 a.m. EST. Click here to follow live results.
