MADISON, Miss. – Former Rehobeth High standout and current Troy University golfer Brantley Scott is one round away from a possible Sun Belt Conference tournament title.
The sophomore ended Tuesday’s second round of the three-round Sun Belt Men’s Golf Championship at the top of the leaderboard.
As a team, Troy fell down the leaderboard after its first-round lead. The Trojans dropped to No. 6 before vaulting back up to third place as teams enter match play on Wednesday. No. 26 Georgia Southern rallied from a poor opening round to shoot 8-under Tuesday and grab a 5-shot lead over Louisiana, which is in second place at 2-over par. The Trojans are 4-over par.
He battled throughout his round with two bogeys and a double-bogey on the par-4 14th. The double put him 2-over par with just four holes remaining in his round. Just as he did Monday, where he went 6-under in a four-hole stretch towards the end of his round, Scott birdied 15, 16 and 18 to push his card into the red and send him to the clubhouse with the lead.
After having a card with no multi-stroke bogeys yesterday, Troy had six across its five golfers on Tuesday as the Trojans shot 8-over as a team after posting a 4-under on Monday.
