LAS VEGAS – Despite another strong showing on the back nine, the Washington men's golf team gave back 11 strokes and finished the second round with a 299 to sit 14th at 16-over 592 at the Southern Highlands Collegiate on Tuesday.
Â
For the second straight day, the scores were higher at the opening of the day than near the end as the Huskies were 14-over-par on the front nine but just 3-over after making the turn.
Â
Noah Woolsey, who held the lead after the first day, struggled on day two, finishing the second round with a 5-over 77. The freshman is at even-par for the tournament and is tied for 12th overall at 144.
Â
"Noah had a tough day today," said Head Coach Alan Murray. "He got off to a tough start and just swam against the tide. He battled hard but just had one of those days."
Â
The Huskies received low scores from junior Carl Yuan and sophomore Henry Lee, who each carded rounds of 1-under-par. Yuan played a consistent round after struggling on Monday, posting three birdies, two bogeys and 13 pars. He is at 4-over 148 (77-71) for the tournament, tied for 41st overall.
Â
Lee had a rough front nine, but came back with three birdies to one bogey for a to drop two strokes on
the back nine. He currently is the Huskies low tournament score with a 1-under 143 (72-71) after an even par opening round and is tied for 10th overall.
Â
"Carl played well and Henry putted extremely well and put together a nice round," said Murray. "Henry is maturing as a player and we are pleased to see he is reaping the rewards of his hard work."
Â
Frank Garber and Jan Schneider each had rough starts but rallied on the back nine, each posting a 2-over 38 over the final nine holes. Schneider posted a 9-over 81 and is at 158 (77-81) through two rounds while Garber carded an 8-over 80 and is at 161 (81-80) overall.
Â
"Frank and Jan struggled a little and this course can be unforgiving if you miss in the wrong spots," said Murray.
Â
"We have some ground to try and make up tomorrow and we are looking forward to getting back out there," said Murray.
Â
The Huskies wrap up the tournament on Wednesday, paired with Texas Tech and UCF on the 10th hole at 10:00 a.m.
