SELLERSBURG, Ind. – St. Thomas Men's Golf dropped one spot to sixth place after a team score of 290 (+2) on day two of the Summit League Championship at Covered Bridge Golf Course. The Tommies head into the final round three strokes shy of Denver in fifth place and nine strokes behind fourth place South Dakota. The team's overall score after 36 holes is 576 (E), 286 on day one and 290 on day two.
Owen Rexing equaled his first-round score with 70 on day two for a combined 140 (-4) as the sophomore moved up seven spots into a tie for sixth place. Rexing is within striking distance of the overall lead, just three strokes off the pace set by Oral Robert's Presten Richardson. The Inver Grove Heights, Minn. native went nine-for-nine on pars on the front and then birdied three of his last five holes after bogeying the 12th.
Matthew Armstrong was tied with Rexing at the beginning of the day but after a 74 (+4) he fell into a tie for 20thplace at 144 (E). The senior shot two over on the front nine with four bogeys and a birdie and turned it around with an even score on the back nine. He bogeyed the 15th hole but rallied with a birdie on the last hole of the day. He has been a menace on the par 5's so far with the second lowest score of the tournament (-5) on such holes.
Will Frazier shot two strokes lower than he did during the first round. His 72 (E) bumped him up four spots into a tie for 28th place with an overall score of 146 (+2). Frazier got out to a scorching start, birdieing each of the first three holes. He finished three under on the front after a birdie on the eighth and bogey on the ninth. The senior endured a topsy-turvy back nine with birdies on holes 10 and 14 and bogeys on holes 11, 12, 13, 16, and 17.
Freshman Gavin Newkirk dropped seven places into a tie with his teammate Will Frazier after a 74 (+2) on the second day. Both golfers are just four strokes out of the top 15 with 18 holes remaining. Matthew Garside substituted in for Zach Rouleau so neither of their scores will count for the remainder of the tournament. Garside shot a 74 (+2) with four birdies and six bogeys.
