GREENSBORO, Ga. - The Eastern Michigan University men's golf team shot 296 as a team in the second round of the Linger Longer Invitational to move into fifth place here at Reynolds Landing Golf Course. The Eagles started the day tied in sixth place. Inclement weather approached with the final pairing on the 18th tee box, forcing round two to be suspended.

Senior Graham Hill is tied for ninth place heading into the final day with a one-under 143 (69-74). Junior Christopher Ross and sophomore Brandon Lemons are not far behind with a 146, good for a 20th place tie.

Sophomore Marty Jeppesen carded a second-round 75 for a total of 150 (75-75) and redshirt freshman Brad Larente rounded out the line up with 154 (75-79).

No. 26 Ole Miss retained its first-round lead and takes a six-shot advantage over both No. 2 Georgia and No. 24 Tennessee-Chattanooga heading into the conclusion of the second and final rounds of the 14-team event. UGA entered the second round seven shots back of first place and after a torrid front nine grabbed the lead temporarily, but the Bulldogs fell apart on the backside and will once again have a lot of ground to make up.

Robbie Greenwell (68-68=136) of Memphis came from two shots back to grab the individual lead over first-round front-runner, Chattanooga’s J.T. Clendenin. Clendenin was one of three players to have his round stall short and is one shot back of Greenwell.

Georgia’s Brian Harman shot the low round of the day with a five-under 67. Georgia State’s Tom Sherreard recorded the shot of the tourney so far with a hole-in-one on the par-3, 201-yard 11th hole.

The final round will take place on Sunday, March 16, at Reynolds Landing. The first tee time is slated for 8:30 a.m.
