Four Ospreys Stay Within Top 20 Individuals

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - No. 39 North Florida men's golf posted another solid round on Tuesday afternoon, sitting with a team score of 12-under 548 at the NCAA New Haven Regional through two rounds.

The Ospreys are tied for third with No. 49 Georgia Southern and are currently ahead of four top-35 teams, including No. 8 Texas Tech, after a 1-over 281 second round score. They are seven strokes ahead of No. 20 Illinois, who is the first team behind the cut line to qualify for the NCAA Championship.

Davis Lee carded the best round of the day for the Ospreys at 2-under 68 in round two to stay inside the top 20 individuals and keep the Ospreys team score within the top three teams. Cody Carroll also had a great round to join Brandon Mancheno as the top Ospreys after the second round, tied for 11th at 3-under.

Another great score in the final round would send UNF to its second NCAA Championship appearance in three seasons. They will look to rebound from just barely missing the cut last season after placing sixth in the Noblesville Regional.
