SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Blake Brothers fired a second-round 68 to move into the top-10 after the opening 36 holes of the UC Santa Barbara Collegiate Monday at Sandpiper Golf Club.Â
As a team, the Matadors opened with an opening round (+6) 294 before posting a (+10) 288 in the afternoon round to drop into eighth-place in the 10-team field at 592. Boise State (565) holds the team lead by five shots over Weber State (570) while the Wildcats' Isaac Buerger is the individual leader at (-7) 137.
Brothers, who was 18th after a (+1) 73 in the opening round, vaulted 11 spots up the leaderboard following his second round 68. He had three birdies and four bogeys in round one before notching six birdies and just a pair of bogeys in round two. Brothers was three-under through 13 holes before a bogey six on the par-five first hole dropped him to two-under. But birdies on two of his final four holes brought him back to four-under for the round and three-under for the day.
CSUNÂ SCORES
"I expect a little bit better team performance tomorrow but we did have some good individual performances today from Blake, Brandon and Tomas. We're a talented team but it comes down to consistency. I'd really like to post a good final round tomorrow and carry some momentum into the final tournament before the conference championship."
CSUN will be paired with UC San Diego and Southern Utah for Tuesday's final round which gets underway at 8:20 a.m.
