BANDON, Ore. - The CSUN Men's Golf team followed up an opening round 309 with a team score of 292 in Monday's second round but remained in 13th place after 36 holes at the Bandon Dunes Championship at Bandon Dunes at Bandon Dunes Course.
After difficult conditions on Sunday, the conditions improved greatly on Monday as did the scoring as CSUN was able to trim their team total by 17 strokes. Every Matador player, with the exception of round one leader Tomas Helgo, improved his score from round one.
Paul-Louis Gachet, who opened with a five-over 77 on Sunday, had five birdies and just a pair of bogeys on his way to a three-under 69 on Monday. Gachet has moved up from 45th into the top-20 as the Matador freshman is tied for 19th.Â
Senior Tomas Skajem, who began the day tied for 37th, posted a two-stroke improvement after going from an opening round 76 to a second round 74 but slipped into a tie for 48th at six-over 150.Â
CSUN's round one leader Tomas Helgo, who was tied for ninth after an opening round 73, struggled to a second round 80 as he slipped into a tie for 67th nine-over 153. Also for the Matadors, Ryan Hoffenberg had a solid scored round at one-under 71 which moved him up from 95th into a tie for 75th at 10-over 514. Luis Calderon rounded out the CSUN lineup as posted a second round six-over 78 to tie for 103rd at 19-over 163.
Ohio State (575) leads the team competition through 36 holes while Denver's Esteban Missura and Utah's Blake Tomlinson share the individual lead at five-under 139. has a one-shot lead at three-under 69
COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"Tomas [Helgo] had an uncharacteristically tough day but the rest of team played relatively well. The conditions were pretty good and I thought for sure Tomas would shoot under par but it was good to see Paul-Louis [Gachet] and Ryan [Hoffenberg] play well. The weather might be a factor tomorrow but If we play, I hope to finish with a solid round and build towards Cal Poly."
The Matadors will be paired with Gonzaga and Idaho for the final round which is scheduled to tee off Tuesday morning at 8:30 a.m.
