The Pirates finished their second round just before 1 p.m., posting a 297 score, which was the third-best among the eight teams that teed off in the morning wave. Armstrong shaved nine strokes off of yesterday's 306 score and also played the back nine at +7, where yesterday the Pirates played the back nine at +19. The team gave a few strokes back over the final holes of the front nine, but senior Justin Wylie came up huge, sinking a 35-foot birdie putt on hole nine to close out an even-par round of 71 to lead Armstrong individually.
With 12 teams just into their front nine of holes, there is a lot of golf to be played in the second round and a lot of opportunity for teams to ether cement their place in the top eight, or fall back to the pack. As this entry is written, the Pirates are tied for 13th. Realistically, Armstrong could find itself right in the 8-10 range when today's play is done, which is clearly within striking distance of the cut line.
We'll be back later tonight to let you know just where Armstrong stands after the second round. Go Pirates !
