FRANKLIN, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's golf team used a two-under par 282 to move into sixth place at the Mason Rudolph Intercollegiate at the Vanderbilt Legends Club.  The Mocs advanced two spots with a 36-hole score of 572 (+4), which is one shot behind Vanderbilt in fifth at 571.

Memphis is the leader at 558 (-10).  The Tigers' even-par 284 gives them a six-stroke lead over South Carolina at 564.  The Gamecocks' 279 (-5) is the only second round score lower than Chattanooga's 282.

True freshman Davis Bunn (Knoxville, Tenn.) had a phenomenal bounce-back from a tough opening round with a perfect four-under par 67 today.  He carded four birdies and 14 pars in what started out as a rather boring round.

Bunn scored par after par after par with 13 straight before four consecutive birdies on holes 14-17.  A par on 18 ended his day at minus four.

Steven Fox (Hendersonville, Tenn.) and Stephan Jaeger (Munich, Germany) navigated the par 71, 7,100-yard tract at level par, 71.  Jaeger had five birdies against five bogeys, while Fox posted four birdies and 11 pars to offset two bogeys and a double.

Chris Robb (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) continued his solid play with a two-over par 73.  Simon Forsslund (Stockholm, Sweden) had the drop score today with a three-over par 74.

Robb and Fox are tied for 29th at two-over 144.  Jaeger is tied for 35th, one shot back at 145.  Jack Belote of Memphis leads at 135, seven under.

Sunday's final round starts at 8:20 a.m. (CDT) with the Mocs paired with Vanderbilt and Ole Miss.  Bunn starts the proceedings followed by Forsslund (8:29), Jaeger (8:38), Fox (8:47) and Robb (8:56).
