CARROLLTON, Texas – Oklahoma fired a second-round score of 294 (+6) to move into seventh place at the Maridoe Collegiate Invitational on Monday.

The Sooners will compete on Tuesday in the final round at the par-72, 7,521-yard Maridoe Golf Club in Carrollton, Texas. Head coach Ryan Hybl's team was paced on Monday by redshirt senior Quade Cummins, who carded a 70 (-2) to move up over 20 spots into a tie for 18^th.

"We just haven't done a great job this week controlling our golf ball around Maridoe," Hybl said. "Our guys are feeling good about their game and we'll do better tomorrow to close this one out."

After failing to sink a birdie in Sunday's opening round, Cummins responded on Monday's front nine by shooting a 4-under 32 with no bogeys. His back nine featured a pair of birdies and bogeys, and a double-bogey on No. 17 moved the All-American to 2-under for the day.

Redshirt senior Thomas Johnson competed as an individual and continued to shine on Monday. The Norman, Okla., product will head into the final round in a tie for seventh after shooting a pair of 73s (+1) in the first two rounds. He currently leads the field in par-five scoring, shooting an average of 4.50 on Maridoe's par-five holes. Johnson is looking for his first top-10 finish since a T6 placement at the 2019 Gopher Invitational.

Oklahoma juniors Logan McAllister and Patrick Welch are tied on the leaderboard in 28^th after Welch shot a 73 (+1) and McAllister tallied a 76 (+4) on Monday.

Welch, a junior from Rhode Island, finished his round strong, collecting a pair of birdies on his final three holes. His seven birdies lead the Sooners and are tied for the fifth most in the field.

Just one stroke off the pair of juniors is redshirt senior Jonathan Brightwell, whose even-par on the back nine moved him to 9-over at the event and into a tie for 36^th.

Riley Casey shot an 80 (+8) on Monday and is T51 after 36 holes.

Freshman Ben Lorenz continued to play well in his Oklahoma debut. The Peoria, Ariz., native ended his day in a tie for 22^nd after shooting a 2-over 74 on Monday afternoon.

With 18 holes of play remaining, the seventh-place Sooners are nine strokes off third place. Oklahoma's 6-over 294 on Monday was tied for the second-lowest round in the field.

Oklahoma State holds the team lead at 16-over-par heading into the final round of play.

The Sooners will conclude their tournament on Tuesday afternoon before turning their focus to next week's East Lake Cup in Atlanta.
