MANAKIN-SABOT, Va. – Senior Jack Wilkes is tied for fifth at 2-under-par 142 and the Richmond men's golf team is in third place after two rounds of the VCU Shootout played Monday at Hermitage Country Club.
The Spiders shot a 2-under 286 in the first round and a 6-over 294 in the afternoon to finish the day at 4-over 580.
Richmond is 11 shots behind second-place Iowa State and 13 strokes behind first-place Virginia Tech, which shot an 8-under 280 in the afternoon round. The third and final round will be played Tuesday morning.
