LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Trevor Johnson shot a combined 1-under-par 143 to pace the University of Louisville men's golf team into sixth place after two rounds of the John Hayt Collegiate Invitational in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., on Sunday.

The Cardinals finished their two rounds at the Sawgrass Country Club at 6-over-par, 14 shots behind the leader North Florida. The Cardinals shot a 1-over 289 during their first round of play, but shot a 5-over-par 293 in the second round to sit two shots out of fourth.

A native of Brentwood, Tenn., Johnson put forth the top round for the Cardinals during the two rounds of Sunday's action, shooting a 2-under 70. He carded a 1-over 73 during the second-round action to end the day in a tie for 11^th place – the top finisher for the Cards. During his first round, the senior raced out of the gates, recording birdies on No. 1, No. 3 and No. 8 to shoot 33 on the front. He would card a 37 on the back nine holes.

Coming off a second-place finish at the General Hackler last week, Murphy continued his run of fine play by shooting an even-par 144 to close the day in a tie for 14^th place. He shot consecutive rounds of 72 to give the Cardinals two players in the top 15 heading into Monday's final 18 holes.

Matthias Schmid is tied for 20^th after his round of 73-73=146 to end the day at 2-over par, while Jiri Zuska is tied for 35^th after shooting a 5-over-par 74-75=149.

Playing as an individual, Hugh O'Hare is tied for 69th after carding an 11-over 155 and Devin Morley is tied for 84^th after shooting an 18-over-par 162.
