Arkansas Jumps to Fifth at Taylor Made Interco


KONA, Hawaii - The 18th-ranked Razorbacks made a significant move up the leader board Thursday afternoon when they shot a 10-under-par 278 at the Taylor Made Waikoloa Intercollegiate. Combined with its score of 293 from Wednesday's first round Arkansas is heading into the final round with a five-under-par 571 and is in a tie for fifth place with No. 9 Arizona State. No. 5 Georgia Tech still holds the lead over the 21-team field with a 13-under-par 563.
All of the Razorbacks improved their scores in the second round to help propel UA to its fifth place standing on the Waikoloa Kings' 72-par, 7,074-yard golf course. Freshman Matt Bortis continues to impress and is tied for eighth place. Bortis shot a season-best 68 in the second round after going 72 in the first. His performances gave him a two-day total of 140 and four-under-par. Bortis is four shots off the leader, Scott Gordon of UC-Davis (136).
Sophomore Paul Bradshaw is tied for 20th after he fired a 70 in second round and a 73 in the first. Bradshaw's scores kept him at a one-under-par 143. Senior All-American Andrew Dahl also improved three strokes in the second round with a 71, after shooting a 74 in the first round. He now stands in a tie for 40th with a one-over-par 145.
Senior Seth Murphy and freshman Beau Glover are close behind as they are tied in 48th with a two-over-par 146. Murphy turned in first and second round scores of 74 and 72, respectively, but it was Glover who made the biggest improvement. After he shot a 77 in the first round on Wednesday, he came back in the second round to post a season-best 69.
The Taylor Made Waikoloa Intercollegiate will conclude with today's final round as the Hogs hope to continue their rise on the leader board. After Arkansas returns from Hawaii they will enjoy a week off before traveling to Los Angeles, Calif., for the USC Intercollegiate on Feb. 29 - March 2.
