NORMAN – The No. 1-ranked Oklahoma men's golf team is in second place after two rounds at the Puerto Rico Classic. The Sooners are one stroke out of first play with 18 holes remaining at the par-72, 6,902-yard River Course at the Rio Mar Country Club in Rio Grande, P.R.

The Sooners posted a 270 (-18) on Monday, good for the fourth best round in tournament history. With a two-day total of 551 (-25), the Sooners trail No. 3 Georgia Tech (550, -26) in a field that features five top-25 teams. Alabama is in sole possession of third place at 561 (-15) while No. 21 Clemson holds fourth with a 562 (-14).

Two Sooners sit in the top five after 36-holes as senior Garett Reband and sophomore Patrick Welch are tied for third with two-day totals of 137 (-7). Reband fired a 67 (-5) on Monday after going bogey free on the back nine and posting five birdies.

"Very solid day of golf for all of our guys today," OU head coach Ryan Hybl said. "Welch had his best round in college career and he really got it going early during the round.
