HARRIS, Michigan - After dusting off with an even-par performance in the first round, the UCF men's golf team found its stride during the second 18 holes, carding an 18-under-par 270 to jump into fifth ahead of tomorrow's finale.
Competing at the Sage Run Golf Club, the Knights were aided by a steady day from junior Clemente Silva. The Chilean authored a pair of three-under-par rounds to lead the Black and Gold, along with keeping him among the leading back in 12th.
A dominant round two leaves the Knights in fifth ahead of the final round 😤

While individual Palmer Haynes was the only other Knight to shoot under par during the opening 18 holes, each of the starting lineup did so to conclude the day.
Hans Risvaer flipped the script to lead the squad in the second round, carding a six-under-par 66 to move back to even overall. Freshman Jakub Hejlek settled in well, shooting a 67 to finish Sunday four-under-par.
Premier returners Lucas Dutartre (-3) and Chase Haygood (-2) did their part to complete the 180 for UCF. Now just three back of Michigan, the Knights will look to fend off the strong field and continue their climb up the rankings.
