The OU men’s golf team heads into the final round in 13th place after shooting a 5-over-par 293 Monday in the second round of the Puerto Rico Classic in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.
The Sooners finished the day in the same position as they started, but the same could not be said about the teams at the top of the leaderboard.
No. 10 Texas charged to the front of the pack as the Longhorns carded a 19-under-par 269 to turn a two-stroke deficit into an eight-stroke lead over the No. 1-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys. Trailing the Cowboys by five strokes was Clemson, who tied for the second-best round of the day after posting a 10-under-par 278.
Leading OU was senior Ben Blundell, who fired a 71 for his second-straight, under-par round and stands in 20th with a two-round total of 141 (-3). Blundell has been the highest placing Sooner in three of OU's five tournaments so far this season.
Redshirt sophomore Riley Pumphrey (74-71) moved up the individual leaderboard with a 1-under-par 71 to grab a share of 36th place after two rounds.
The duo of junior Liam Logan (75-75) and senior Tyler Rody (74-76) are now tied with two other players in 55th place. Sophomore Ben Klaus rounded out the rotation for the Sooners as he stands in a tie for 71st after rounds of 74 and 81.
Everyone trails Cody Gribble of Texas after the freshman carded a 65 to move to the top of the field at 12-under. Cowboy Kevin Tway and Harris English of Georgia are both one shot back of Gribble heading into the final day of competition.
OU teed off for the final round of the Puerto Rico Classic at 5:30 a.m. today.
