team in round two of the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate on Saturday at the
par-72 Blackthorn Club at the Ridges.
Chay, a native of Greer, S.C., and Riverside High School
product, bogeyed only one hole during second-round play and notched birdies at
No. 14 and No. 16 to move into a tie for 38th place. Senior Matt Brown drained
three birdies to record his second straight even-par round to hold a share of
16th place after 36 holes.
The University of Tennessee (-9) holds a three-stroke lead
over second-place Virginia (-6), with Missouri (-5) and Memphis (-5) tied for
third place entering the final round.
First round co-leader Grant Milner (-10) of Memphis fired
his second straight 5-under 67 to hold a five-stroke advantage over Wake
Forest’s Evan Beck (-5).
Final-round play at the Blackthorn Club at the Ridges is
slated for Sunday morning.
