Live Scoring - Round 2
The Racers were even par as a team through 15 holes, but the par-3 16th started their undoing when they played it four over par. MSU finished in fourth place at 290, nine shots off the lead of Jacksonville State at 281. Tennessee State and UT Martin shared second place at 287.
“We didn't have a good start at all, but I was proud of the way we fought back to get ourselves back into contention,” MSU Head Coach Eddie Hunt said. “We're still in the race, but we've got to come out tomorrow and start better than we did today.”
Carrico was 1-over par coming to the eighth hole when he boosted his round with back to back birdies. The senior from Owensboro, Ky. wasn't finished. He drove the par-4 10th green with a mammoth tee shot that cut the corner to the 425 yard monster setting up an eagle putt which found the bottom of the cup. Carrico carded a 66 and grabbed the first round lead by one shot over Jacksonville State's Andres Schonbaum who had a 67.
After Carrico's 66, MSU got a 73 from Patrick Newcomb who was in 15th place in the field of 45 competitors. Hunter Ford carded a 75 for a spot in 29th, while Dustin Gosser was in 33rd place with a 76. Hunter York's 78 put him in 45th place.
Eastern Kentucky and Austin Peay shared fifth place at 291, while Eastern Illinois and Tennessee Tech rounded out the field at 297.
With heavy rain in the weather forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, the OVC decided to move the start of round two up an hour to 7:30 a.m.
The Racers will be paired with Eastern Kentucky and Austin Peay.
York will be first off for the Racers at 8:20 a.m. with Gosser starting at 8:30 a.m. Ford has the 8:40 a.m. tee time, with Newcomb going off the first tee at 8:50 a.m. Carrico will carry the lead into his second round at 9 a.m.
