 Lihue, Hawai’i — Austen Christiansen and Patrick Fishburn both shot even par on the day to move BYU men’s golf to 12th place at the John Burns Intercollegiate, Thursday.

“It was an overall better performance today,” BYU head coach Bruce Brockbank said. “We need some of our guys to shoot under par tomorrow so we can move up a few more spots in the field. Tomorrow will be a great challenge with the wind and a rainy forecast."

In today’s second round of 18 holes, the Cougars sit in 12th place. BYU shot a total stroke score of 290 (+2), 13-strokes better than the team shot yesterday.

Christiansen, who finished the day shooting even par, birdied three holes in today’s round of 18. Christiansen is tied for 37th place overall after the first two rounds of play.

Fishburn also shot even par today. He shot one-under-par on the front nine, birdying the first, fifth and ninth holes. Fishburn is currently tied for 32nd individually at three-over-par.

CJ Lee, who is tied for 48th place, shot one-over-par on the day. Lee birdied the 13th and 16th holes. Teammate Zach Pritchard also shot a one-over-par 73 through today’s 18 holes. Pritchard birdied five holes in the second round and is now tied for 69th place at nine-over-par. Spencer Dunaway is tied with Pritchard for 69th place. Dunaway shot six-over-par on the day.

Teams will play the third and final round of the John Burns Intercollegiate, Friday. Players will tee off at 8:30 a.m. HT in a shotgun start. The tournament can be followed live.
