Lafayette, La. — Freshman Raghav Chugh had the best round of his career, firing a five-under par 67 in the second round of the Louisiana Classics.

Senior Harrison Hineline is tied for 35th-place at one-over par. He opened the day with an even par 72 before closing with a 73. The 72 is his fourth round of par or better this a year and the 16th of his career.

"We didn't have our best golf out there today, but we held it together well and made a lot of birdies. Raghav (Chugh) played a very solid second round which helped us post a low number and move up three spots. Another under par round tomorrow and we can move past some teams and create some momentum heading into the All-American."

The final round begins tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. CT. Rice begins play at 9:09 a.m. and is paired with Louisiana Tech and Sam Houston.
