ORLANDO – Senior Bank Vongvanij was tied for sixth place on the individual scoreboard and third-ranked Florida moved into a fifth-place tie after Monday’s second round of the Isleworth Invitational golf tournament.
The Gators started out the day in 12th place (in the field of 15 teams) and Vongvanij started out tied for 22nd. Florida’s score of 290 was the lowest score of any team on the day.
“I was really happy with the way we played today,” Florida coach Buddy Alexander said. “We got ourselves back into this tournament. I hope we can come back and have another good round tomorrow.”
