Leaderboard

GOODYEAR, Ariz. - Colorado School of Mines is in the mix after three players got under par through 36 holes at the RJGA Palm Valley Classic on Monday.

The Orediggers marked team rounds of 283 and 281 to sit at -12, seven strokes off the lead pace of Cal State East Bay (-19) in a crowded top of the leaderboard. Nine strokes separates first from seventh place; Mines is the leading RMAC team a stroke ahead of Colorado Mesa.

Carter Lolli had a fantastic day to be tied for sixth at -6 on twin rounds of 69, one of three Orediggers over par along with Max Lange (-3) and Colt Tenpenny (-1) with Lukas Taggart even par. Playing near his hometown of Phoenix, Lolli had near-identical rounds going -1 on the front side and -2 on the backside in each. 

Lange is tied for 19th at -3, shooting even par in the morning but going low with five birdies to get to -3 after lunch. Tenpenny was three-under for 69 in his first round but gave up ground with an afternoon 74 to be tied for 32nd, while Taggart shot on either side of par with a first-round 73 followed by 71 to land at even. Lucas Schulte (T53) is the fifth man on the leaderboard for Mines despite a solid +1 day on rounds of 72 and 73.

Colorado Mesa's Cole Beyer and Midwestern State's Seth Bearden are co-leaders overnight at -9. Lolli is one of 11 players at -6 or better.

The third round will be a 7:30 a.m. PT shotgun start on Tuesday with Mines paired with Colorado Mesa, CSU Pueblo, and Northeastern State.
