BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. – One week after picking up its first win in five years, Troy is on the cusp of making it back-to-back victories as the Trojans are in second place, just a shot out of first place, following Monday's opening two rounds of the Gulf Coast Collegiate at the 6,769-yard Diamondhead Country Club.
Kyle Cornelius is 1-under par and sits in second place through 36 holes. Playing as an individual, Cornelius carded six birdies in the second round, all coming after his card reached 3-over par through three holes. He shot 1-over in the opening round before coming back with a 2-under 70 in the afternoon session.
North Alabama sits atop the leaderboard just one shot ahead of Troy and three shots better than Southeastern Louisiana.
Brantley Scott and Will McFadden are two shots back of Cornelius to lead Troy's counters. The pair are 1-over par but got there in different ways. Scott shot a 3-under 69 in the morning round thanks to six birdies before shooting 4-over in round two, while McFadden shot consistent rounds of 73 and 72.
Jake Springer and Nicklas Borrmann both rebounded from rough opening rounds to shoot 74 and 72 in the afternoon session. Springer moved up nine spots into a tie for 23rd place at 7-over and Borrmann climbed 22 spots into a tie for 26th place at 8-over. Reagan Harrell flirted with under-par rounds on Monday but couldn't avoid the big number twice in each round to settle in a tie for 37th place.
Troy tees it up with North Alabama, Southeastern Louisiana and Incarnate Word beginning at 8 a.m. for Tuesday's final round.
