The Buckeyes are plus-13 overall, nipping at the heels of fifth-place Oklahoma State (+10) and sixth-place Iowa (+11). Holes of distance have proved very beneficial to Ohio State as the Bucks are 8-under on Par 5’s, besting the field on such holes by a four-shot margin.
Sophomore Addison Coll improved his standing in the second round, ascending three slots on the individual leaderboard up into a tie for 17th place (+2). Coll eliminated three bogies with three birdies and registered an even-par 70 on Friday.
Coll’s classmate Clark Engle is the top Buckeye performer through 36 holes, earning a share of 12th place at 1-over. He opened the tournament dipping under par at 68 before posting a 73 in his second trip around the course.
Tee-k Kelly and Boo Timko are slotted in the 30’s, tied for 31st and 36th, respectively. Kelly has rattled of scores of 72-73 (+5) while Timko came in at 71-75 (+6). Grant Weaver matched Timko’s opening round 71 and carded a 77 in round number two to grab a piece of 46th place.
