Niners Bolt To 20-Stroke Lead After Second Round at A-10
A-10 Coverage including Video InterviewsMay 3, 2008
Winter Park, Fla. - The fifth-ranked Charlotte 49ers golf team fired a 14-under-par 274 in the second round of the Atlantic 10 Championship at Orange County National Golf Center to open a 20-stroke lead over current runner-up Dayton. The 49ers are 24-under-par after two rounds, while Dayton is in at four-under-par and Rhode Island stands third at three-under-par. The third and final round will be played Sunday.
"It's a scoreable golf course and our guys know that," said 49ers head coach Jamie Green, who is hoping to lead the 49ers to their third straight A-10 Title. "It's a matter of our guys capitalizing on the holes they can. You can get on a string of birdies."
Sophomore Corey Nagy led the Niners with a six-under-par 66 in round two while senior Andrew DiBitetto carded a four-under-par 68.
"Corey's putting was excellent today," Green noted. "He started off with an eagle and made some birdies. Andrew had a string of three birdies in a row and had an eagle. Yesterday he had to scramble for 72. Today he was able to get it under par and keep it there."
Charlotte has four of the top six individuals after two rounds.
Charlotte senior Jonas Enander Hedin took the individual lead after two rounds at -8, 136, following a second round of two-under par 70. Nagy is tied for second at seven-under par 137 and Stefan Wiedergruen is tied for fourth at -5, 139. DiBitetto is sixth at -4, 140.
"Jonas just played very steady golf," Green said. "Even though he didn't play his best, to be leading the tournament says alot about him. Stefan gives himself a lot of opportunities and if you keep knocking at the door you are going to bust through. He gives himself chances."

"You take what the golf course gives you," said Green. "If par is a good score, our guys accept that. If you can make birdies, they want to make more. They will push the envelope but not in a reckless way. They just need to keep making good decisions and keep the pedal down."
