HILO, Hawai’i — The University of Colorado men’s golf team moved into 10th place after recording its best round of school year here Thursday in the second round of the first round of the Hawai’i-Hilo Intercollegiate.
No. 5 Stanford took over the team lead with a 22-under par team score of 538; the Cardinal was on fire with a 263 score for the second round, or 17-under.
CU, Stanford and Oregon State were the only three teams to have five of their players shoot par or better on the 6,738-yard, par-70 Waikoloa Village Golf Course layout.
Senior Michael Baird matched his CU career low score by carding a 4-under 66, which gave him a 5-under 135 score through two rounds, tying him for 11th place overall.
Senior Jim Grady, who had recorded his first round in the 60’s in his college career on Wednesday with a 1-under 69, matched that effort again and is tied for 18th with a 2-under 138 total.
Sophomore Justin Bardgett also shot a 1-under 69 and stands at 2-over par 142, tied for 51st; it bettered his previous college best by four strokes as he put his first sub-70 score in the books.
Freshman Michael Imperato and sophomore Luke Symons each shot even par 70, and have 143 and 144 totals, respectively, entering Friday’s final round.
“I felt good about how the way guys responded from yesterday,” head coach Roy Edwards said. “Everything we stressed last night in our team meeting we did well. We really were focused on our next shot ahead of us and were more confident.
“The guys are doing the important things that will make you better, and we’re starting to see the results,” he added. “We still left some shots out there, which is good in a manner of speaking because there’s room to improve.
“But I am encouraged we’re doing this so early. The guys have done a good job of getting out in
Two players share the leads, as Arizona State’s Jesper Kennegard and USC’s Jamie Lovemark are in with 9-under 131 totals through 36 holes; Kennegard was one of two players to record a 63 Thursday.
The tournament concludes with the final round Friday.
