The Ospreys opened play with a 298 (+10) before blistering the course at a six-under pace with just two holes remaining in round two. UNF currently sits at four-over for the tournament, two strokes in front of round one leader No. 37 Liberty. The Flames posted a 291 opening round and were +3 in round two when darkness came.
