UNF on the brink: Davis Lee logs second 69 in a row to lead Ospreys to top-five in NCAAs
Davis Lee is nothing if not consistent this week.
The University of North Florida senior and Ponte Vedra High graduate birdied the final hole of the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club for the second day in a row for his second 69 in a row on Tuesday to come within three shots of the individual lead in the NCAA Norman, Okla., Regional.
Lee (6-under 138) is tied for fourth with Hugo Townsend (69) of Ole Miss. Ludvig Abert of Texas Tech (68) leads at 9-under, followed by Drew Goodman of Oklahoma (70) at 8-under and Nick Dunlap of Alabama (71) at 7-under.
