Tallahassee, Fla. – Davidson's Richard Fountain bettered his opening round 71 with a four-under 68 Friday afternoon to move into a tie for 13th at the 2013 NCAA Men's Golf Regional.
The three-day event hosted by Florida State is being played on the 6,965-yard, Par 72 Golden Eagle Golf & Country Club layout.
The Raleigh native will begin tomorrow's final round at 9:50 a.m. off the 10th tee. He will be paired with Bart George (Loyola (Md.)) and Daniel Walker (Richmond).
Through 36 holes of play, Fountain (-5) has recorded an eagle, nine birdies and five bogeys or worse.
Fountain got off to a fast start opening with birdies on his first two holes (10 & 11) and later rolled in a 55-foot eagle putt on the par-5 15th to move to five-under for the tournament. After making the turn at four-under 32, the junior suffered a double-bogey on the par-4 second hole to fall back to two-under on the day and minus three overall.
The 2011 SoCon Champion responded to his only blemish of the day by playing the remaining seven holes in two-under, including a birdie on his final hole of the day, the par-5 ninth.
No. 19 North Florida (-27) held on to the top spot on the team leaderboard and will enter the final day with a two-stroke advantage over No. 6 Washington (-25). The Seminoles (-23) are two back of the Huskies, while Oregon (-14), Georgia Tech (-12) and South Florida (-12) round out the top five.
Like his team, the Osprey's MJ Maguire (-11) maintained his individual lead with a second-round 68. Cheng-Tsung Pan (Washington) and Chase Sheiffert (Florida State) are one off the pace at -10.
The NCAA Division I Men's Golf Regional is a preliminary round of the NCAA Division I Men's Championship. The Tallahassee Regional consists of a 54-hole tournament with 13 teams and 10 individual players. The low five teams and low individual not included on those five teams will advance to the NCAA Championship that runs May 28-June 2 at Capital City Club Crabapple Course in Atlanta, Ga.
