NUEVO VALLARTA, Mexico - The Washington men's golf team sits in second-place after the first two rounds of the GADO North Texas Classic at the Flamingos Golf Club in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, Sunday. The Huskies shot 3-over 579 in the opening rounds, led by sophomore Nick Taylor who is currently tied for fifth place.
The Huskies began the day with a first-round score of 3-over 291, but improved in the afternoon round carding an even-par 288. Washington does have quite a bit of ground to make up though with one round remaining, as it trails leader Louisiana Lafayette (10-under 566) by 13 strokes. Rounding out the top five teams on the leaderboard are Southeastern Louisiana and Cal State Northridge which are tied for third place a 4-over 580. New Orleans is fifth at 6-over 582.
Taylor had a fairly consistent day, scoring even-par 72 and 2-under 70 on Sunday. He is 2-under 142 overall and is tied with sixth other players in the fifth-place spot, but is just two shots behind the leaders - Jose Toledo of New Orleans and Kyle Nicolson of Cal State Northridge - who are 4-under 140.
The Huskies have two other players in the Top-20 with sophomore Darren Wallace tied for 14th (1-over 145) and senior Zach Bixler tied for 17th (2-over 146). Bixler's second-round score of 2-under 70 matched Taylor for the low UW round of the day.
Also competing for Washington are freshman Tze Huang Choo (tied for 43rd, 6-over 150) and junior John Wise (tied for 48th, 8-over 152). The GADO North Texas Classic wraps up with the final 18 holes on Monday beginning at 7:30 a.m CT/5:30 a.m. PT.
