CARLSBAD, Calif. – Brantley Scott climbed 21 spots on the individual leaderboard into a tie for 18^th place after shooting 1-under to lead Troy in Saturday's second round of the NCAA Men's Golf Championship at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa North Course.

After shooting 4-over in the first round, Troy struggled on its second trek through the course as the Trojans posted a 20-over as a team slipping from a tie for 12^th following the opening round into a tie for 24^th place with No. 23 Tennessee.

Troy is 12 shots back of Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and Texas A&M for the 15^th spot in the field; Sunday's round marks the final for all 30 teams in the NCAA Championship before the group is cut in half for a final round on Monday.

No. 5 Arizona State shot the low round of the tournament so far, carding an 11-under 277 to move past No. 6 Oklahoma for the top spot on the leaderboard, followed by No. 1 Auburn, No. 7 Florida and No. 9 Florida State.

Scott, who was named to the PING All-Southeast Region team earlier in the day, made the turn at 1-under following birdies on the fourth and sixth, but a round stretch around the break hurt as he bogeyed the ninth, 10^th and 12^th around a birdie on the 11^th. He closed out his round with a birdie on the 557-yard, par-5 18^th, Troy's second on the hole (Fowlkes).

Following a rough start, Jake Springer closed with birdies on two of his final four holes as he shot 77, while Lee Poppell closed at 79, Nick Fowlkes shot 81 and Pablo Gracia carded an 83.

Troy hits the No. 1 tee Sunday at 2:45 p.m. (CT) along with UNLV and UCLA looking to make up the 14-shot deficit to make the cut for Monday.
