EL DORADO, Ark. — WKU's Linus Lo remains in the hunt after Monday's second round of the Duck Commander Intercollegiate, tied for fourth with one round to play.

The redshirt sophomore carded a 3-over 75 in the second round at the par-72, 7,289-yard Mystic Creek Golf Club. His two-round total of 148 puts him just four strokes behind the individual leader, UNC-Wilmington's Patrick Cover.

"I didn't hit the ball that well today, but I hit a lot of good recovery shots and played pretty small to control damage," Lo said. "My game plan tomorrow is to hit fairways and greens and make as many putts as possible."

WKU sits in ninth place as a team with a 619 (305-314) tally, but they're just nine strokes behind leader Eastern Kentucky at 610. Host Louisiana-Monroe is second at 611.

Redshirt junior Billy Tom Sargent is tied for 21st individually with a 154 total (74-80), while junior Stuart Easton is tied for 32nd at 157 (78-79). Freshman Chase Landrum and sophomore Tom Bevington are one shot apart from each other at 161 and 162, respectively.

Tuesday's final round is slated to begin at 8 a.m. CT with a shotgun start.

"We had kind of a tough day on the golf course today," WKU head coach Phillip Hatchett said. "The golf course kind of ate us up, but I'm really proud of Linus Lo's effort with a 75. He didn't have his best ball-striking day, but he worked hard all the way around the golf course to shoot his 75. We just want to come out tomorrow and have a good finishing round. We're focusing on the positive things we did today and looking forward to the opportunity tomorrow."
