LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Simon Zach fired a 7-under 65 to lead the University of Louisville men's golf team into a third place tie after two rounds of the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate at the Blackthorn Club at the Ridge on Saturday.
Playing in the No. 1 position, Zach proved his value by carding the fifth-best round in the history of the school – becoming the first UofL player to shoot such a round since Robin Sciot-Siegrist accomplished the feat at the 2015-16 ACC Championships.
As a team. The Cardinals fired an 11-under par 277 to knot Kent State at 559 after two rounds of action. Penn State leads at 27-under par and Missouri is second at 18-under par.
Zach, who hails from Prague, Czech Republic, was on fire on Saturday, capturing four consecutive birdies, and six on the first nine holes. Zach is one shot back of Missouri's Hayden Buckley, who fired a 64.
Matthias Schmid is tied for 11th after two rounds after shooting a 6-under 66, while Nicolas Platret is tied for 22nd after shooting an even par 72.
Keegan de Lange, who shot 71 on Friday, came back with a 2-over par 74 to drop into a tie for 39th, while Erik Dulik, who is playing as an individual, is tied for 56th after playing even on Saturday.
John Murphy rounds out the top five by sitting in a tie for 80th place.
The Cardinals, who are paired with Tennessee and Coastal Carolina, will tee off at 9:40 a.m.
