STOCKTON, Calif. – University of Houston junior Austyn Reily drained a team-high five birdies on the way to a 3-under 69 to lead the Cougars during the Second Round of the NCAA Stockton Regional at The Reserve at Spanos Park.
As a team, the Cougars posted a score of 2-under 286 to move to 12th in the team standings with a score of 581.
Starting his day off No. 1 on the 7,315-yard, par-72 course, Reily made birdie on the par-4 third hole and added additional birdies on No. 6 and No. 9 on his front nine.
The Pottsboro, Texas, native endured a bogey on No. 10 to start his back nine but returned to 3-under with a birdie on the par-5 11th hole. Reily added his final birdie of the day on the par-5 16th hole and rose 17 places in the individual standings to tie for 31st at 1-under 143.
Reily wasn't the only Cougar to break par in Tuesday's play. Redshirt freshman Jacob Borow posted a score of 2-under 70 and was tied for 67th at 151.
The Lake Jackson, Texas, native fought through a bogey on No. 1 and returned to even par with a birdie on the next hole. Fortunately, that would be his lone bogey of the day as he posted birdies on No. 6 and No. 11 and closed the day with seven straight pars.
Senior Alexander Frances was tied for 145 and became the 11th student-athlete in program history to record 10,000 strokes during his award-winning career. Junior Marcus Wochner was tied for 53rd at 147, while senior Braxton Watkins was tied for 71st at 153.
