PONTE VEDRA, Fla. -- The Vols sit in seventh place after a rainy second round at the John Hayt Invitational. Sophomore Juan Carlos Serrano Guevara is in reach of his first top 10 finish as a Volunteer.
Serrano Guevara fired his second consecutive 74 (+2) in wet conditions at Sawgrass Country Club. His second round included four birdies to give him six for the tournament. He currently sits in a tie for ninth place at 4-over par.
Junior Chad Merzbacher also shot a second round 2-over par 74. Merzbacher's second round included two birdies to bring his tournament total to seven.

Monroe was able to find four birdies on Saturday, despite the wet conditions.
Freshman Lorenzo Scalise posted his second 5-over par (77) of the weekend. Scalise was even par when he made the turn, but fell on hard times on the par-4 11th amidst steady, misty rain. Sophomore Jack Smith improved on his first round score of 78 by two strokes by carding a 6-over par 76 during round two. Smith's second round included four birdies.
