BATON ROUGE–The LSU Tigers ended round two of the Ka’anapali Classic in sixth place after a 7-under 277 team performance.
Matthew Dodd-Berry and Jay Mendell led the Tigers in round two, both carding a 3-under 68. Dodd-Berry moved to 7-under on the tournament and T11 on the individual leaderboard, while Mendell progressed to 5-under and sits T24 going into round three.
Algot Kleen bounced back from a first round 73 by posting a 2-under 69 to get back to even par on the tournament. Kleen has yet to finish a tournament over par for LSU, and will look to continue that streak with a strong performance on Monday.
After posting an opening round 7-under 64, Árni Sveinsson struggled to get things going in round 2 of the Ka’anapali Classic and finished with a 1-over 72. Sveinsson is still 6-under overall in the contest, and sits T20 on the individual leaderboard. Junior Alfons Bondesson carded a 2-over 73 in the second round, but remained under par in the tournament overall at 1-under 141.
LSU is 23-under as a team, and currently trails leader Oklahoma by 8 strokes going into the final day of play. With 16 of 21 teams in the tournament going under par in the second round, LSU will have a chance on the final day to make a surge up the leaderboard.
