STANFORD, Calif. -- Sophomore
Thomas Hutchison carded a 4-over-par 74 for his team's low round of the day, leading UC Davis' second-round action in the 50th edition of The Goodwin, Stanford's premier spring men's collegiate golf tournament held at the Stanford Golf Course Friday.
Hutchison also took over the Aggies' team lead for the tournament, entering Saturday's final round with a total of 149 strokes and a share of 78th place. The mathematics major from San Jose shot a 37 on the front nine, then provided one of his team's highlights despite a rough start on the 500-yard 16th. Hutchison missed his tee shot to the right, forcing him to lay up. However, his second shot went left of the fairway, resulting in an approach that left him some 40 feet above the pin. Frustrated but clearly not rattled, the 2018 Big West Conference Freshman of the Year drained the long putt for a birdie 4.
