SAN DIEGO - Three San Diego State men's golfers are under par as San Diego State fired rounds of 289 and 286 on Monday and is three shots off the lead after 36 holes at the Oregon Duck Invitation in Eugene, Ore.

The Aztecs, which won the tournament last season, are three shots behind second-ranked Georgia Tech in the team race. Oregon and Washington are tied for second, two strokes in back of first and one shot ahead of San Diego State.

San Diego State seniors Andrew Scott, Aaron Choi and Linus Nilsson are all under par after 36 holes and are all among the top 11 individually. Scott fired consecutive sub-par rounds with 71 and 70 and is 3-under-par and is in seventh place after 36 holes. Choi and Nilsson are both 1-under-par and in 11th place after two rounds

"We are starting to solidify as a team," SDSU director of golf operations Dale Walker said. "I feel pretty good. We have a couple of solid horses at the top in Aaron Choi and Andrew Scott and I am really happy with the way Linus Nilsson played. We need to close the tournament strong tomorrow."

The tournament concludes with a single round on Tuesday.
