WAIKOLOA, Hawai'i – The Chaminade University men's golf team remains in 12th-place after the second round of the Dennis Rose Invitational at the par-70, 6,566-yard Waikoloa Beach Course on the Big Island.
The Silverswords shot a second-round 307 on Tuesday, a 12-shot improvement from Monday's opening round. They have a 36-hole total of 626, 21 shots back of their next competitors, the University of Texas-Tyler.
Colby Gunderson (Kaneohe, O'ahu, Hawai'i/Castle) carded a second-round 2-over-par 72 and is tied for 48th overall at 12-over 152. His highlight of the day came on the final hole of the day at the par-4, No. 12, holing out from 156 yards out for an eagle.
"The wind was coming off the right side," he said. "I hit a cut 8-iron because there was a lot of room behind the hole and it was the perfect yardage."
Gunderson is the only player among the 71 golfers to eagle the 12th.
Schuyler Peterson (Huntington Beach, Calif./Mater Dei), the 'Swords' first round leader, shot a 5-over 75 in Round 2 and his a shot behind Gunderson.
