Kentucky Moves Into Fifth Place at Lake Las Vegas Intercollegiate

HENDERSON, Nev. – The Kentucky men's golf team had a solid performance on the second day of the Lake Las Vegas Intercollegiate in Henderson, Nevada, behind three players posting under-par scores as the Wildcats now rank fifth in the team standings.
 
Collectively, Kentucky recorded a team score of 4-under-par 284 on Tuesday at the Reflection Bay Golf Club, four fewer strokes than its even-par 288 in the opening round. The Wildcats moved up one place with 18 holes remaining as they seek their third top-five finish of the 2021-22 campaign. West Virginia holds the lead at 11-under par followed by UAB (9-under), Utah (7-under) and Little Rock (5-under).
 
Garrett Wood once again paced the Wildcats with an impressive 4-under-par 68, bettering his 2-under-par 70 from day one to mark the 30th par-or-better round of his career. Although offset by two bogeys at the 13th and 16th, the fifth-year had six birdies – including three straight on holes 4, 5 and 6 – as he currently sits in fourth place, a significant improvement as he entered the day tied for 12th.
