CSU posted one of five under-par rounds on the day to move up six spots entering tomorrow's final round
PALM DESERT, Calif. – Colorado State rallied on the second day, improving by nine shots on their opening round score and moving up six spots to eighth after the second round of the 2020 Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate, Feb. 21. The three-day, 54-hole tournament, hosted by the University of Wyoming, is being played at Classic Club (Par 72 – 7,305 yards) in Palm Desert, Calif.
"Today was much a better performance for the team," head coach Christian Newton said. "It was one of the better rounds of the day, and we need another good one tomorrow to keep digging out of the hole we created in round one."
One of just five under-par scores on the day, the Rams posted a 2-under 286 and moved up from a tie for 14th to eighth at 5-over 581. Auburn is the 36-hole leader at 13-under 563, three shots better than Charlotte in second at 10-under 566. Boise State is third at 3-under 573, with Denver (2-under 574) and North Texas (1-under 575) rounding out the top five teams. The field remains tightly-bunched, as just 12 shots separates third from 11th.
The four counters for the round all improved on their opening day score. Junior Parathakorn Suyasri is the top Ram in a tie for 27th at even-par 144 following a 1-under 71 on the day. Sophomore Davis Bryant and junior Jack Ainscough also shot 1-under 71s and are tied for 30th at 1-over 145. Senior AJ Ott posted a 1-over 73 and is tied for 51st and 4-over 148. Sophomores Oscar Teiffel and Akedanai Ponghathaikul, playing as an individual, are tied for 62nd at 6-over 150. Tom Gueant of Oregon holds on to the individual lead at 6-under 138, leading a quartet of golfers at 5-under 139.
Colorado State will start its final round at 7:50 a.m., going off No. 1 with North Texas, TCU and Oregon.
