Carson Barry sank six birdies and shot a 1-under 71 to pace the Oregon State men's golf team in its second round of play Tuesday at the Folds of Honor Collegiate.
The Beavers, as a team, shot a 6-over 294 and enter the final day of action at 10-over and in ssss place at the par-72, 7,128-yard American Dunes Golf Club.
"The wind, once again, was really difficult, maybe even a little more gusty than yesterday," Oregon State head coach Jon Reehoorn said. "I think that played in to it. We hit some poor shots because they weren't truly committed to what they were going to do with the wind.
"One thing about this group is that they're always going to compete. Carson battled really nicely on the back nine. It was nice to see him battle back like he did. I feel like we're playing really solid golf, just in the moments when the wind gets tough and there's some indecision, they just need to be a little more committed to what they're doing."
Jackson Lake remains the team's leader after finishing with a 3-over 75 over the second set of 18 holes. He stands in a tie for 15th with a 2-over 146 over the first 36 holes of the tournament.Barry jumped into a tie for 19th place with his 1-under showing on Tuesday.
