Second Round Results in PDF Format
The San Diego State men's golf team finds itself in seventh place after the second round of the Mountain West Conference Championships at the Omni Tucson National Golf Club. The Aztecs shot a 296 on Friday for a 36-hole total of 17-over-par 585 at the 7,136-yard, par-71 Catalina Course. TCU and Brigham Young each grabbed a share of the lead in the team standings at 4-under 564, surging past UNLV (-1), which slipped into third, followed by Colorado State (+4) and Utah (+10).
After walking off the course atop the individual leaderboard on Thursday, senior Aaron Goldberg ran into difficulty during the second round, firing a 4-over 75 to finish the afternoon in a tie for seventh at even-par 142. Despite a scorecard that included six bogeys compared to only two birdies, the Encinitas, Calif., native remains just three shots in back of UNLV's Eddie Olson (-3).
Freshman Johan Carlsson sits two strokes behind Goldberg at 2-over 144 as the Gothenburg, Sweden, product carded a 73 to tie senior Chad Moscovic (Stockton, Calif.) for SDSU's low round of the day. Carlsson finished the opening round in seventh place along with six other players, but was unable to keep pace over the second 18 holes and slid into a tie for the 14th position. Moscovic, meanwhile, drained a team-high four birdies to move up two spots into a tie for 35th at 8-over 150.
Freshman Matt Hoffenberg was also poised for a little upward mobility on Friday after finishing the front nine at even par. However, the Simi Valley, Calif., native was undone by double-bogeys on the 11th and 18th holes en route to a hard-luck 75. With his round, Hoffenberg slipped six places into a tie for 32nd with a combined 7-over 149.
Capping off the day for the Scarlet and Black was junior David Palm (Landvetter, Sweden), who shot a 76 during the second round to finish in 42nd at 11-over 153.
The Mountain West Conference Championships conclude on Saturday with final-round action as the Aztecs are scheduled to tee off with golfers from Wyoming and Air Force starting at 7 a.m. PT. A live scoring link will be available on the home page of GoAztecs.com.
