EATONTON, Ga. – The 17th-ranked UWF men's golf team had four rounds at par or better to help propel the squad to a second place standing after 36 holes at the Bobcat Invitational on Monday.

The Argonauts shot a 293 to run their total to 570 and are a stroke behind 36-hole leader No. 12 Lander. No. 6 USC Aiken is at 571, while No. 3 Georgia Southwestern and No. 1 North Georgia are tied for fourth at 572.
 
Sophomore Cooper Tendick and freshman TJ Thompson led the Argo attack on the par 70 Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee course and are each tied for sixth at 2-over-par 142.
 
Freshman Per Ekelund is tied for 12th at 70-73=143. Junior Fabian Wennerlof turned in a season-best 70 in the first round before a 77 moved him into 40t place at 147. Senior Nicolas Rubio shaved three strokes off his opening 18 to post a 73 in the second round and move up 18 spots into 48th position.
