CHARDON, Ohio - The Xavier University men's golf team battled through the rain and wind of the par-71, 7,173-yard Sand Ridge Golf Club for a second consecutive day at the NCAA Central Regional with day two producing a slightly better result as the Musketeers carded a 19-over-par 303. XU, which came into the day in 23rd place, is now at 42-over-par (610) in 20th place.
Oklahoma State leads the 27-team field with a two-round total of 565 (-3) while OSU's Zack Robinson is atop the individual leaderboard at 5-under-par (137)
