UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.- The Nittany Lion men's golf team sits in sixth place after a second round score of 10-over places them at 17-over for the Big Ten Championships in Baltimore, Maryland.
Only one of three teams with two individuals in the top-10, the Lions' junior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) and sophomore Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) both shot even par rounds to lead the way for the Blue and White.
Miller sits at even par in a tie for fifth place at 140. His birdie on 18 was the only one scored by the field on the closing field as it played as the toughest hole on the day.
