With two rounds in the books at the Virginia Commonwealth Shootout, the ISU men’s golf team faces an uphill battle in both the team and individual races.
At the end of day one at the CCV Tuckahoe Creek Course in Richmond, Va., Iowa State is tied for fourth place after posting a four-over-par total of 580 (289+291).
Iowa State trails leader James Madison by 13 shots, which owns a nine-shot lead on second place.
In the individual race, junior Nick Voke was in the top five for most of the day until a couple late bogeys in round two dropped him to a tie for 11th with a 1-under-par total of 143 (71+72).
Voke trails leader Tom Harris of Maryland by eight strokes.
Just behind Voke is junior Jack Carter, who is pursuing his first career top-10 finish. Carter is tied for 15th place at even-par for the tournament with a pair of 72s to his name.
