GREENSBORO, Ga. – Louisiana Tech withstood the elements on Monday, overcoming gusty winds of 20+ miles per hour to climb eight spots in round two of the Linger Longer Invitational.
 
The Landing at Reynolds Lake Oconee played as completely different golf course on day two.  Only three holes played under par compared to nine in round one.  As a result, out of the 95 competitors there were only 14 rounds at or under par compared to 44 yesterday.
 
Despite a slow start for LA Tech through the first four holes on the back nine when the team shot a combined 11 over, the Bulldogs hunkered down and ended up shooting 295 (+7) which tied for the fourth-best round of the day while vaulting them into seventh with 18 holes to go.
 
Oskari Schuvalow matched his round one score with another 72 (E).  The sophomore was two over through four holes but caught a heater making five birdies in the span of eight holes, including three of the Par 5s, to end the round tied for 16th on the player leaderboard.
 
Morton Bailey played steady golf all day, shooting 37 on the back and 35 on the front to also card a 72 (E), jumping 39 spots to finish 36 holes in a tie for 34th.  The third scorecard used was that of Niilo Maki-Petaja who utilized back-to-back birdies on No. 15 and No. 16 to help shoot 74 (+2).  The sophomore is tied for 24th.
 
Jake Plumb had the fourth score counted for LA Tech, rebounding from a 41 on the back to shoot 36 on the front and end with a 76 (+5).
