PAUMA VALLEY, Calif. – Powered by the day’s low round (10-under 274), No. 3 Florida climbed into contention and now lurks two shots back of the lead at the Pauma Valley Invitational on Tuesday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Florida’s team round\u00a0today sent them six spots up the leaderboard into third\u00a0place, just behind No. 20 Georgia Tech (-10) and No. 15 Tennessee (-11). The Gators, Yellow Jackets and Vols tee off tomorrow’s final round at 12:31 p.m. UF looks to capture the fifth team title this season, which would mark four consecutive seasons of five-plus single-season victories for the first time in program history.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All five counting scores were at par or better led by\u00a0Jack Turner’s<\/a>\u00a066 (-5). He made the turn with a bogey-free with a 5-under back nine, which included three straight birdies\u00a0between holes No. 13-15. The low round was his team-best 12th this season as the junior is tied for 9th.\u00a0<\/p>\n Right behind Turner was\u00a0Luke Poulter<\/a>\u00a0with a bogey-free 67 (-4) for back-to-back under par rounds after missing the last two tournaments. He is 5-under after two rounds and is three shots back of solo lead. Also, eight of his last nine rounds are par or better.\u00a0<\/p>\n The final two Gators contributing this round featured\u00a0Josh Bai<\/a>\u00a0with a 1-under 70 and\u00a0Zack Swanwick’s<\/a>\u00a0even-par 71. In Bai’s second set of 18-holes, Bai made four birdies, 13 pars and a double-bogey while across his last seven rounds, five are for par or better.\u00a0<\/p>\n Florida Player Leaderboard Team Leaderboard \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PAUMA VALLEY, Calif. – Powered by the day’s low round (10-under 274), No. 3 Florida climbed into contention…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":197536,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-197535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
