FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Tennessee men's golf team is two strokes out of the lead heading into Wednesday's final round at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational.

Following Monday's 8-under outing, the Vols turned in a 7-over performance during Tuesday's second round of play – maintaining their status as just one of two teams under par for the tournament.

"I'm extremely proud of the guys for hanging in there today without their best stuff," head coach Brennan Webb said. "We're looking forward to a great opportunity tomorrow."

Despite slipping from their standings atop the leaderboard after day one, Hunter Wolcott and Bryce Lewis each find themselves tied for fourth place overall with identical scores of 3-under 141 through two rounds.

Wolcott and Lewis birdied four times apiece on Tuesday, bringing Wolcott's tournament total to 10, while Lewis has carded eight.

Brayden Garrison gave Tennessee its third counting score for the second consecutive day, carding a 2-over 74 – which gives him an aggregate mark of 1-over 145 and puts him in a tie for 18th place heading into Wednesday.

Garrison finished round two especially strong, recording five birdies, including four over the course of the final five holes.

Entering Wednesday in a tie for 29th place and giving Tennessee its final counting score is Rhys Nevin, who sits at 4-over 148 through two rounds. Spencer Cross is 7-over 151 through two rounds and in a tie for 39th place.
