Β
PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. β Troy shot a school-record 12-under par in Tuesday's second round of the Golfweek/AGT Intercollegiate to grab a 9-stroke lead with one round to play. All five Trojans shot under-par on the day as they combined for 22 birdies and just eight bogeys.
Β
Troy's 12-under par ties program-record for the lowest score relative to par (2009 FSU Spring Break Invitational); the school record for the lowest score in a round is a 273 (-11) on a par-71 course at the Sam Hall Intercollegiate.
Β
The Trojans entered the day in third place but were eight shots better than anyone else in the field and enter Wednesday's final round with a 9-shot advantage over Delaware and a 12-shot lead over Xavier. The winner of the event receives a team exemption into the prestigious 2024 Augusta Haskins Award Invitational.
Β
Brantley Scott paced the Trojans on Tuesday with a 4-under 68 thanks to birdies on back-to-back holes to end his day. Scott's sixth round in the 60s this season moved him 39 spots up the leaderboard into a tie for 10th place with teammate Will McFadden.
Β
Scott leads the field with 11 birdies through the first 36 holes, while Jason Quinlan has eight. Nicklas Borrmann is tied for the lead on the par 3s at 2-under, while Scott is 4-under on the par 4s to pace the field.
Β
McFadden shot in the 60s for the first time this season as he turned in a 3-under 69 with three birdies and no bogeys on the day; he also made a big move up the leaderboard as he climbed 21 spots.
Β
Quinlan is Troy's clubhouse leader, tied for fifth at 4-under through 36 holes after shooting 71 on Tuesday, while Jake Springer is a shot back in a tie for seventh after climbing 12 spots following his 3-under 69; his first round in the 60s as well. Borrmann moved 18 spots up the leaderboard into a tie for 13th place at 1-under after he carded a 70 in the second round.
