SCHEDULE | ABOUT CHATTANOOGA GOLF
 
CHATTANOOGA---The Chattanooga Mocs men's golf team got the 2024-25 campaign going in Cincinnati, Ohio Monday with a 35-hole day at Coldstream Country Club. The Mocs opened with 296 and finished the day with a 289 for a total of 585, good for 15th-place.
 
Seniors Garrett Engle and Braedon Wear matched for the morning low round with 2-over 73. Senior Dalton Chuba and sophomore Camden Braidech added 75s as Ethan Whitaker's 77 served as the drop.
 
Engle once again paced the Mocs in round two. His even-par 71 was one better than Braidech at 72. Wear and Chuba both tallied 73 ahead of Whitaker with 75.
 
"Obviously disappointed in the result today," Coach Blaine Woodruff shared after an 11-plus hour day. "We saw some bright spots the second round though. It's a long year, and this is a new team. We are still trying to find our identity with this group.
 
"As much as today sucked, I feel like we learned a lot. We have a great opportunity tomorrow to move up the board and beat some good teams."
 
Louisville has the 4-stroke lead heading into the final day. The Cards 562 is ahead of Kansas with host Cincinnati in third (569). UofL's Sebastian Moss has the individual lead at 8 under.
 
The Mocs and the rest of the field return to the tee Tuesday at 9 a.m.
