ONEONTA, Ala. – Sophomore Peyton Johnson was the story of the day for Louisiana Tech, shooting 70 (-2) in round two of the GMAC Invitational at the Limestone Springs Golf Club.
 
Johnson carried over his momentum from Sunday's round one, carding a 34 on the front nine with a trio of birdies on No. 2, No. 3, and No. 7.  He backed that up with a 36 on the back nine just like the day before to finish in the red for the first time this fall. 
 
The 70 marked the second lowest round for the Shreveport native behind only his 69 at last season's home event.  The under-par round moved him almost 30 spots in the individual standings, now tied for 45th and the lead Bulldog going into the final round.
 
Riley Hnatyshyn, who shot a team-best 73 in round one, shot a 78 (+6) to put the sophomore in a tie for 66th.  Freshman Gray Kingrea shot 80 (+8), a number that was primarily the result of a tough No. 3.  Lastly, redshirt sophomore Joel Thomas Stephens carded an 81 (+9).
