As with their Lady Shocker counterparts the Shocker men played a solid 1st round but pretty much came apart at the seams in Round 2.
A second round 312 (+32) has them sitting in 12th place 24 shots our of the last qualifying 5th place spot.
Scores today were inflated across the board:
LCB +6, Chandler Rusk +8, Grant Bennett +8, Max Mason +10 and Alec Heinen +12. Not to pick on Alec but he has the worst individual score in the tournament after 2 rounds (although one Northern Colorado player still has 3 holes to play and sits 3 strokes ahead of Alec).
Basically, the Shocks are playing to their seeding of #12 which is probably not surprising considering that seeding probably assumed Calvin Pearson would be in our lineup. I have no idea why Calvin is not playing this weekend but his replacement, Max Mason is freshman who had 3 competitive rounds of collegiate golf under his belt coming into the tournament.
Max struggled today starting out 9-over on his first nine holes (the back 9) but he easily had the best closing 9 (the front 9) with a +1 effort. Unfortunately, it was way too little, way too late to really do much for the Shocks.
