Loxley, Ala. — Junior Nolan Kuszyk is tied for 14th-place heading into the final round of the Steelwood Collegiate Invitational, played at the par-72, 7,096-yard Steelwood Country Club.
Kuszyk opened with a 70 before firing a season-low 69 to sit at -5, tying his career-long streak of four straight rounds under par. He has a team-high eight rounds of par or better this year, and 32 in his career. The 69 was also his first round in the 60's this year and the ninth of his career.
Redshirt senior Henry Daly carded rounds of 73-74 to sit in a tie for 59th-place at +3. Senior Reggie Zhu is tied for 66th-place at +5 after rounds of 73-76.
Junior Raines Watson, tied for 79th-place, carded rounds of 73-81 to sit at +10, and freshman Alex Kerins is one stroke back in 82nd-place after rounds of 77-78.
The Owls are +10 in 14th-place after rounds of 289-297. No. 3 Auburn leads the team competition at -35, 12 strokes in front of No. 13 Georgia Tech. Kansas State's Oliver Toyer and Georgia Tech's Albert Hansson are tied for the individual lead at -12.
JUSTIN EMIL QUOTABLE
"We need to get ourselves back on track tomorrow. We had too many bogies or worse. Our par five scoring late in the fall has kept us out of contention. I know these guys are disappointed in today's result. We'll fight hard for a strong finish tomorrow."
NEXT UP
The final round begins tomorrow at 7:45 a.m. CT. Rice will tee off from hole No. 10 beginning at 8:27 a.m. CT and will tee off with student-athletes from Iowa State at Nebraska.
