The Iowa men’s golf team shot a 3-over par for the first two rounds of the Royal Oaks Intercollegiate to put them in 10th place among 14 teams.
Benton Weinberg lead the way for the Hawks, carding a 1-under, which put him in a tie for 25th.
Matthew Walker is tied for 36th after shooting 1-over, and Sam Meuret scored a 2-over, tying him for 40th.
Alex Schaake is tied for 45th place after carding a 3-over. Ryoto Furuya anchors the group at 6-over which puts him tied for 58th.
“We started the day decent but went flat on the back nine,” head coach Tyler Stith said in a release. “We didn’t execute well enough, and the putters went cold. The second round was a much better performance. Benton, Matthew, and Sam played solid. Alex battled back from 5-over par to shoot 2-over. Benton’s 67 was clutch. We needed someone to step up this afternoon, and he responded.”
Baylor holds the top spot in the field at 22-under, and Arkansas is second at 9-under. Liberty in third at 8-under.
The third and final round is set to begin today at 8:15 a.m.
