BATON ROUGE, La. – The wind picked up on Tuesday at the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional, as the Arkansas men’s golf team fired a 13-over 301 and sits in eighth place after two rounds of play at the University Club.

The Razorbacks went off on No. 10 for the second straight day and played a solid back nine, making the turn at 3-over as four of the five players birdied the par five 17th hole. The turn to the front side yielded high scores again for Arkansas, shooting 10-over on the second nine and ending the day with 16 birdies and 23 bogeys.
