Following a 69 on Monday, Hunter Eichhorn enters Tuesday's final round three shots off the lead
VERONA, Wis. — A pair of birdies and an eagle on the back nine helped Hunter Eichhorn shoot a second round 69 and get to a fifth place 4-under-par score, while Marquette enters the final round of the Badger Invitational at University Ridge G.C. in fifth following a 4-over-par round on Monday.
Eichhorn, who shot a 1-under-par 71 on Sunday, was at 1-over-par for his day following a bogey on the Par 4 10th. He made birdies at No. 11 and No. 13 before taking advantage of the Par 5 16th and making an eagle on the course's lowest scoring hole.
The back nine push moved Eichhorn three strokes off the lead, held by Iowa State's Lachlan Barker who enters Tuesday at 7-under-par.
Freshman Tyler Leach made three back nine birdies to shoot a second round 71 for his first collegiate sub par round (77-71—148, T-33).
Marquette (294-292-586, 10-over-par) will be in a grouping with Iowa State (1-over-par) and UAB (11-over-par) on Tuesday, as teams look to catch leader Illinois State (4-under-par).
