Men's golf team in third place at Battle at the Shores

The Eastern Florida State College men's golf team is in third place after two rounds of the Battle at the Shores at Normandy Shores Golf Club in Miami Beach.

The Titans shot a 290 in the first round and then a 281 in the second round and is two strokes behind Nova Southeastern. Host Barry University is in first place with a 566.

John Houchin is tied for fifth place overall at 1-under 141 after shooting a 69 in the second round. Teammate Matt Gauntlett is tied for 12th at 1-over par while Drew Lanier is at 3-over and Ryan McMillan is sitting at 4-over. Brandon Boncore rebounded with a 71 in the second round and is at 8-over heading into the final round.

"Good solid second round by the team," Eastern Florida State College men's golf coach Jamie Howell said. "Normandy Shores challenges every shot in the bag and the team adjusted well in the afternoon round. It will take a similar effort tomorrow as Barry will have the home course edge when it comes to familiarity with the course."

Eastern Florida State College will tee off in the final round Tuesday morning of the 16-team tournament.
