Pendaries Goes Low as Men's Golf Makes Monday Charge
3/29/2021 9:20:00 PM | Men's Golf
AWENDAW, S.C. – Senior Adrien Pendaries went low, leading a Monday charge up the leaderboard by the Duke men's golf team, which improved to fifth place through 36 holes at the Hootie Invitational at Bulls Bay GC in Awendaw, S.C.
Pendaries, who again took advantage of the Bulls Bay GC's opening holes, shot a 4-under 68 on Monday and the senior finds himself in fifth place and just three off the lead heading to Tuesday's final round.
As a team, Duke entered Monday's round in ninth place in the stacked, 16-team field. But thanks to the team's second-round score of 7-under 281 -- a season low, the Blue Devils sit in fifth place at 6-under par, seven strokes off the pace set by co-leaders Auburn and NC State.
Freshman teammates Ian Siebers and Jimmy Zheng each posted red figures on Monday, with Siebers carding a 2-under 70 and Zheng posting a 1-under 71. Siebers is tied for 12th through 36 holes at 2-under, while Zheng is tied for 17th at 1-under.
Graduate captain Steven DiLisio and senior Qi wen Wong each signed for even-par 72's on Tuesday. DiLisio is 2-over for the tournament and in a tie for 40th, while Wong, who is playing individually, is 5-over par overall and in a tie for 62nd. Senior Evan Katz is tied for 78th at 9-over.
Pendaries, who is 7-under this week on Bulls Bay's opening six holes, birdied the par-5 second and the par-3 third before rolling in an eagle on the par-5 sixth on Tuesday. That eagle got him to 5-under for the tournament and a brief hold of the individual lead. Another birdie putt found the cup on the par-5 10th with his lone bogey coming on the par-4 15th on his way to a 68.
Siebers' 2-under round featured four birdies and two bogeys, while Zheng bounced back from bogeys on the opening two holes to birdie six of his next 13 on his way to a 71. Wong's even par-par round was highlighted by an eagle on the par-4 16th as the senior drove the green on the 290-yard hole and sank a 45-footer.
Auburn's Andrew Kozan leads the individual leaderboard at 8-under par, while his Tigers are 13-under and share the team lead with NC State. Missouri (-12), Kent State (-10) and Duke (-6) round out the top five with 18 holes to play on Tuesday.
The final round is underway at 8 a.m., and the Blue Devils are off at 8:45 a.m. and paired with Kent State and College of Charleston. Live scoring is available from BirdieFire.
