LAREDO, Texas – Troy sits in 10th place following Monday's opening two rounds of The Border Olympics held at the Laredo Country Club; the Trojans are just nine shots back of sixth in a jumbled field.
The Trojans found themselves in sixth place following a 3-over in the morning round but shot a collective 20-over on the second trip through the course to slip four spots into 10th place.
Pablo Gracia is Troy's clubhouse leader at 4-over on the par-71 course after shooting 75 in the first round and even-par in the second round. He carded three birdies in the second round after not finding a single birdie in the opening round.
Louisiana holds a 3-shot advantage over No. 47 Houston heading into Tuesday's final round, while New Mexico State, Michigan and Miami (Ohio) round out the top five. Troy sits 23-over par for the event, while Michigan and Miami (Ohio) sit 11-over.
Nick Fowlkes and Jake Springer are tied for 31st place at 5-over par, while Brantley Scott and Lee Poppell are tied for 58th position at 11-over.
The Trojans fared well on the par 3s, shooting a combined 8-over par, good for fourth in the field. However, they were 28-over par on the par 4s and par 5s, eighth best overall.
Teams conclude play Tuesday with 18 holes and a shotgun start. Troy opens on nine thru 13 and will be paired with Lipscomb, Texas-Rio Grande Valley and Lamar.
