CHULA VISTA, Calif. – The University of San Francisco men's golf team is enjoying its view from the top. Fresh off a team championship at the Orange County Collegiate Classic, the Dons continue to play exceptional golf. After 36 holes, USF sits in first at the Lamkin Grips Intercollegiate after shooting a 4-under 575 (291-285) on Monday and the San Diego Country Club.
Â
USF was led by senior Tim Widing and junior Soren Lind who finished the day tied for second. The duo finished with a 5-under 139, with Widing going 70-69 and Lind going 69-70. The two are also tied atop the tournament with 12 birdies apiece as the putter was on for USF's upperclassmen.
Â
Today was Lind's best day this season, having just participated in four tournaments so far, the 12 birdies is already a season-best for a 54-hole tournament with 18 still to play. His two rounds under par give him back-to-back rounds under par for the first time since he went under par in all three rounds of the Visit Stockton Invitational last fall.
Â
In third for the Dons was sophomore Matthew Anderson who finished the day tied for 31st. Anderson recorded day just two birdies on the day put carded a tournament-high 26 pars. He finished the day with a 4-over 148 (72-76).
Â
Finishing fourth for USF was junior Toby Briggs. Briggs opened the tournament with an 8-over 80 in the first round, but a terrific 3-under 69 in the second round has him sitting in 41st with a 5-over 149 (80-69). The 3-under by Briggs is a season-best.
Â
Alex Chin finished in 97th with a 14-over 158 (82-76).
Â
The Dons lead No. 3 Arizona State and No. 37 Tennessee by one stroke. The two teams finished with an even par 576. ASU's Cameron Sisk is the individual leader with a 6-under 138 (71-67).
Â
The Dons will tee off with the Sun Devils, Volunteers and Texas A&M tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. for the third and final round. Fans can follow the live results at Golfstat.com
