BLUFFTON, S.C.---The Chattanooga Mocs are in the hunt again in 2023-24. This week they lurk near the top of the leaderboard at the Colleton River Collegiate. The Mocs are 17 under with play suspended in round two due to darkness.
 
The squad opened with 283 and followed with a 12 under tally through 15-16 holes which ranked best in the field. They're tied with Missouri and Minnesota in second behind Georgia Southern (-25).
 
John Houk is tied for fifth at 7 under. That's four better than Ward Harris' 3 under over 33 holes Monday. Paul Conroy and Dalton Chuba are one stroke behind him at 2 under as Carson Johnson slides in at even. Braedon Wear is 3 over playing as an individual.
 
Conroy led the way in the morning round with 69. Harris (70) and Houk (71) also broke par. Johnson carded 73 to complete the team score, while Dalton Chuba's 74 was the drop score.
 
Houk shot up the leaderboard in round two. He's 6 under with two holes to complete in the morning. Chuba was also on fire at 4 under, as Harris and Johnson each sit at 1 under. Conroy is 1 over.

"We saw a lot of good out there today," Coach Blaine Woodruff said. "We are leading the field in birdies, but we just made some sloppy mistakes that we need to clean up tomorrow in order to have a chance. We're looking forward to the opportunity."
 
The field returns in the morning to finish their final holes before heading right into the final round. It broadcasts on GKLive.TV at the link above.
