Men's Golf Wraps Up Day Two in New Haven

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Day two of the New Haven regional is in the books for the UCF men's golf team and the Knights remain in eighth place on Tuesday with a combined score of 558(-2) following 36 holes of play.

With one round to go, the Black and Gold are eighth strokes shy of fifth place (No. 8 Texas Tech, 550, -10), which is the cutoff to advance to the NCAA Championship in Scottsdale, Arizona from May 27 – June 1. The low individual not on a top-five team will also advance to the championship.

Sophomore Egor Eroshenko led all Knights on day two with a 1-under-par 69 score on the par 70 Yale Golf Course in New Haven, Connecticut. Eroshenko hit even-with-par on eight of nine holes to open the day, but his scores fluctuated on the back nine as he knocked down both a trio of birdies and bogeys to move into 24th place with a 139(-1) combined score.

Senior Teddy Tetak is currently the top Knight on the leaderboard as he's tied for 16th after shooting an even 70 on Tuesday. Tetak, who was unanimously named to The American's All-Conference team along with fellow UCF senior Johnny Travale, was 3-under-par through 10 to open round two, but a tough hole 17 saw him double-bogey and a birdie save on 18 brought him back to even.

Senior Luis Carrera turned in a 1-over 71 in round two, bringing his two-day total to 141(+1), good for 37th place, while Travale led all Knights with five birdies, but seven bogeys (also a team-high) saw him finish at 72(+2). The Hamilton, Ontario native is tied for 28th place with a 140(E) score.

Rounding things out, senior Clement Charmasson shot 73(+3) in the second round on Tuesday. He's now tied for 45th at 143(+3).

The Knights will tee off in the final round of the New Haven regional on hole one Tuesday morning beginning at 8:25 a.m., along with Virginia and Seton Hall. Fans can follow along live on Golfstat.com here.
