NCAA Division II South/Southeast Regional Results – Day Two

HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. – The 15^th-ranked Carson-Newman men's golf shot a stroke better during Tuesday's second round of the NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championship's South/Southeast Regional but fell to 12^th on the leaderboard at Mission Inn Golf Club & Resort.

Senior Andrew Hall (Knoxville, Tenn.) had the Eagles' low round of the day with a one-over 73 and moved up 13 spots on the leaderboard into a tie for 26^th.

"We had a similar result to yesterday; it was a good, smart round by Andrew," coach Randy Wylie said. "The other guys had too many doubles and too many three punts. The weather looks bad tomorrow; we're hoping to get in a good round and close strong. Go Eagles!"

On the front nine, Hall had just one bogey, which came on the par-four fourth, and tallied eight pars to make the turn at one-over. The senior opened his back nine with a birdie on the 10^th and then followed suit on the par-five 14^th. Bogeys on the 15^th and 17^th holes sent the first-team All-South Atlantic Conference selection to the clubhouse even on the back nine. Hall finished the round one-over.  

Freshman Jake Headrick (Maryville, Tenn.) followed his even-par round on Monday with a six-over 78 during his second round. Headrick started out at two-over on his front nine, but a double bogey-bogey combination on the first two holes of the back nine hindered the Maryville, Tenn. native's round. He is tied for 34^th.

Senior Jace DeVault (Bluff City, Tenn.) dropped two shots from his first round to shoot four-over 76 on Tuesday; the senior is tied for 61^st after two rounds. DeVault began his round with seven consecutive pars before a double-bogey on the par-five eighth. Two consecutive pars on the ninth and 10^th before a bogey-birdie combo on the 11^th and 12^th left the senior at one-over. The Bluff City, Tenn. native tallied bogeys on the 16^th and 18^th left DeVault at four-over.

Nicklaus Kennedy (London, Ontario, Canada) shot four-over during his front nine after bogeying the fifth and a triple-bogey on the eighth. After making the turn, the senior shot even-par and finished his round with a birdie on the 18^th to shoot four-over 76. He is tied for 70^th.

Junior Dalton Reese (Warrenton, Ga.) recovered a pair of strokes on Tuesday and finished the day at eight-over 80. Reese opened with a double-bogey on his first hole and then bogeyed the third hole as well. The Georgian finished the front nine at six-over; he then recorded seven consecutive pars before finishing the round with two bogeys in his final three holes. Reese is tied for 98^th.

Lynn leads the South/Southeast Regional by three strokes over West Florida; Florida Southern, Saint Leo and Columbus State round out the top-five.

The final round of the NCAA Division II South/Southeast Regional tees off on Wednesday morning in the Sunshine State. Live results are available on cneagles.com.
