BIRMINGHAM – Led by the trio of Nick Robillard, William Walker III and Khavish Varadan, the UAB men's golf team moved up six spots into sixth place on the second day of the Collegiate Invitational at the Country Club of Birmingham.
The Blazers entered the day in a tie for 12th place, and now sit tied for sixth after shooting +2 as a team. UAB is +14 overall and is tied with No. 43 Virginia entering the final 18 holes. No. 4 Clemson and No. 19 Tennessee are tied for first at +3, and are followed by No. 22 North Florida (+8), No. 21 Arkansas (+9) and No. 48 Ole Miss (+11).
"I was really proud of the way the guys handled today," head coach Mike Wilson said. "We knew the course was going to play extremely difficult. They managed to navigate the difficult holes well and we had a very strong finish."
