Montgomery, Texas — Junior Raghav Chugh is tied for eighth-place after two rounds of the spring-opening Bentwater Intercollegiate.
Chugh began the day by carding a 75. However, he bounced back in the second round, firing a one-under par 70 to head into the final round at +3. The 71 is his fourth round of par or better this year and the 31st of his career.
Freshman Braeden Hoyt is tied for 12th-place at +4 after posting consecutive 73's. His 36-hole score of 146 is a season-best. Sophomore Lukas Boandl posted rounds of 75-73 to finish the day +6 in a tie for 25th-place.
Freshman Reggie Zhu and senior Blake Benson are both tied for 41st-place at +9. Zhu carded rounds of 74-71 while Benson opened with an 81 before bouncing back with a 71 in the second round, his first round of par or better this year and the sixth of his career.
Graduate student Jay Kirchdorfer posted rounds of 75-78 to sit +11 in a tie for 50th-place. Freshman Jaivir Pande is +14 after rounds of 80-76 to finish the day in a tie for 63rd-place. Senior Rodrigo Martin and graduate student Nicholas Li are in 68th and 76th-place, respectively. Martin is +17 after rounds of 85-74 while Li carded rounds of 82-83 to sit at +23.
Rice is in seventh-place at +27. Sam Houston leads the team tournament at +6, five strokes in front of WKU. Tarleton State's Max Bengtsson and Cameron Hubbard of Stephen F. Austin are tied for the individual lead at -3.
JUSTIN EMIL QUOTABLE
"We experienced a lot out there today. Cold, wet, and windy conditions made it difficult to score. Our execution was off and it produced a lot of bogeys or worse. One that was evident though. The guys fought hard and were able to keep themselves in the round after those early mistakes. All of these experiences are valuable as we move on into the spring competition."
NEXT UP
The final round begins tomorrow with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. Rice will tee off from holes 8-10 with student-athletes from Missouri State and Midland CC.
