ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – In addition to Davidson extending its lead, Joshua Stewart and Will Davis are tied for second just one shot off the pace with 18 holes remaining in The Peoples Championship hosted by Western Carolina.
The Wildcats (-21), who captured the Cleveland Golf Intercollegiate earlier this week, entered today's second round with a six-shot margin following an opening round 274 (-10). The defending champs signed for an 11-under 273 to open up a 13-shot advantage over Drexel (-8) entering tomorrow's final round.
Xavier (E), Wright State (+1), Western Carolina (+2) and Belmont (+2) round out the top-5 in the team standings.
The three-day / 54-hole event, which features 22 teams / 128 competitors, is being played on the Par 71, 6,664-yard Sea Palms Resort layout.
Stewart and Davis, who finished tied for third in the event a year ago at 202 (-11), currently sit at 8-under 134 just behind Wright State's Shane Ochs (-9).
After shooting 32 on his inward nine Thursday, Stewart (66-68 = 134) continued his impressive stretch tying the school-record with a 28 on the front side this morning, while Davis (69-65 = 134) fired the day's lowest round, a six-under 65.
Like his teammates, Alex Heffner (67-70 = 137) is well within striking distance as the two-time A-10 Player of the Year is tied for fourth just four swings behind.
Price Miller (+4 | T-46), also in the Wildcat starting lineup, bounced back with a second-round 70. Davidson's Davis Sayman (+3), Adam Lauer (+5), Will Tharin (+13) and Jackson Bode (+17) are competing as individuals.
Up Next
Davidson will take two weeks off from tournament action before heading to Wilmington for the Seahawk Collegiate March 24-25.
