KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. - Behind a one-over par output from senior Sydney Chung, the Memphis Tigers carded a second-round 301 at the East Bay Deli Classic at Kiawah, hosted on the par-72, 6,911-yard Jack Nicklaus Signature Course on the Turtle Point Golf Course.

After the second-round 301, the Tigers stand in sixth place in the field with a 591, just behind Coastal Carolina (588), Jacksonville State (584), Tennessee (581), and College of Charleston (580).

Leading the way for the Tigers was Chung who finished one stroke over par on the day. He opened on the first hole, and had a birdie and two pars over his first three holes. A birdie, a par, and a bogey on the next three holes put him at a stroke under par, before he closed the front nine with two bogeys and a par, making the turn at one stroke over par. He kept that aggregate score of one stroke over par after nine consecutive pars to close out the round.

JC Campbell started his round on the par-four third hole with a bogey, before birdying the fourth hole of the day. He followed with 11 consecutive pars, before birdying the par-three 16th hole. Two more pars followed; however, he closed the round with two straight bogeys to give him a first-round 73, which is tied for 59th overall.

Chase Harris ended his day tied for 30th overall with a five-over 77. He had a rough start to the day with two bogeys and two double-bogeys over his first five holes of the day, putting him at six strokes over par. He cut into that aggregate score with a birdie on the par-four ninth hole, and proceeded to par all nine holes on the back half of the course for his 77.

Nick Giles carded a six-over 78 on the day, putting him at six strokes over par for the tournament, tied for 44th overall. Starting on the par-five second hole, he recorded two bogeys over his first nine holes; however added a double-bogey to start his back nine, while two more bogeys gave him his final score of six strokes over par.

Senior Eithel McGowan started strong, and ws one stroke over par through 10 holes on the day; however, a triple bogey, bogey, and two double bogeys turned his one over par score into nine over par. He did close strong, however, as he birdied his final hole of the day, the par-five second hole to drop his aggregate score to eight strokes over par, and 11 over par on the tournament, tied for 77th.

The Tigers close play in the tournament starting at 8:45 when the squad tees off with Coastal Carolina, Troy, and Lipscomb. Chung goes off of the fourth hole, while Giles and Harris go off of the fifth, and McGowen and Campbell on the sixth hole.
