SAN ANTONIO - Four Wildcats landed in the top 10 to spearhead Abilene Christian men's golf to second place through two rounds at the Military City Collegiate presented by USAA at TPC San Antonio's Canyons Course on Monday. ACU was one of two teams below par at 1-under 575 with the most individuals in the top 10.
The Wildcats were one of six programs in the 12-team field to complete the second round before play was suspended due to darkness. The third and final round will begin with an 8 a.m. shotgun start on Tuesday.
ACU finished just one stroke back of first-place Middle Tennessee as Thomas Buisson, Colin Leonard, Tres Hill and Jack Hollingsed each placed within the top 10. The Wildcats shot 3-over 291 in the opening round before improving to 4-under 284 to close out the day.
ACU ranks second in the field on par-3 and par-5 holes at 4-over and 9-under, respectively. It shot third-best on par 4s. The Wildcats logged the fourth-most birdies with 31 and tied for the fewest bogeys.
