NORMAN – The No. 20 Oklahoma men's golf team maintained its hold on second place after the second round of the NCAA Stillwater Regional. The three-day, 54-hole tournament is taking place at the par-72, 7,418-yard Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla.

The Sooners, who are competing as the No. 3 seed, recorded a 296 (+8) Tuesday, the second-best round of the day behind only field-leader Oklahoma State, to bring their 36-hole total to 588 (+12).

The No. 1-seeded Cowboys pace the regional with an overall 576 (E) on their home course. Purdue sits in third with a 602 (+26), and Clemson advanced into fourth at 609 (+33). Rounding out the top five is Louisville with an overall 611 (+35).

The top five teams and top individual not on those teams will advance to the NCAA finals, slated for May 27-June 1 at the Eugene Country Club in Eugene, Ore.

“It was a really good day for Brad [Dalke] and Max [McGreevy], and they allowed for us to have a good team round,” OU head coach Ryan Hybl said. “We need another solid day and to try to go win a championship tomorrow.” 

Junior Max McGreevy and freshman Brad Dalke lead the Sooners, sharing fourth with a 144 (E). McGreevy bookended the second round strong, opening with an eagle on hole No. 1 and ending with consecutive birdies on holes No. 17 and 18 to end the day with a 71 (-1). Dalke carded a consistent 72 (E) for the second day in a row, pocketing four birdies.
