Men’s golf bounces back with 288 in Rd. 2 of Fall Preview Championship

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Huntingdon men's golf team shot 597 in the first two rounds of the Fall Preview Championship on Sunday.

After shooting 309 in the first round, the Hawks turned in the third best score in Round 2 with a 288. Huntingdon is in eighth entering Monday's round at the Grandover Resort and Conference Center.

"Today was a tale of two rounds," Huntingdon Director of Golf Dave Schreyer said. "The morning round left the boys very angry and determined to right the ship.
