UA men in fourth place

-

The No. 9 University of Arkansas men’s team had a hot afternoon with a 7-under 281 to finish the day in fourth place at the Seminole Intercolle­giate on Monday at Tallahasse­e, Fla.

Senior Jacob Skov Olesen fired a bogey-free round of 7-under 65 on the 7,505-yard Seminole Legacy course to lead the charge for the Razorbacks, who had been in fifth place with a 295 in the opening round, which was played Monday morning.

Olesen is tied for second place at 7 under with Florida State’s Tyler Weaver, two shots behind Florida State’s Luke Clanton.

The No. 12 Seminoles carded a 12-under 276 in the second round to take the lead at 11 under, one shot clear of No. 7 Ole Miss. First-round leader Virginia Commonweal­th fell back two spots with a second-round 3 under to complete the day at 3 under, three shots ahead of Arkansas.

Arkansas sophomore John Daly II, senior John Driscoll and junior Manuel Lozada all shot 71 in the second round, though Lozada’s score did not count toward the team total as he is playing as an alternate.

Driscoll is in a tie for eighth at 2-under for the tourney after carding two birdies and 15 pars in the second round. Daly had a wild day with an eagle, two birdies and two bogeys in a span of six holes on the front nine. He is tied for 43rd place at 6 over after posting a 79 in the morning round.

Arkansas senior Mateo Pulcini and freshman Thomas Curry both shot 2-over 74 in the afternoon round, with both players securing two birdies. Curry is tied for 37th at 5 over and Pulcini is tied for 56th at 7 over. Lozada is in a tie for 21st at 2 over.

Indiana is in a distance fifth place, 14 shots behind the Razorbacks at 14 over, followed by High Point (15 over), Southern Illinois (16 over) and North Alabama (16 over), Boston College (17 over) and Mississipp­i State (19 over).
