Round 2 Team Results | Round 2 Individual Results | Round 3 Tee Times/Pairings
MIRAMAR BEACH, FLA. - Arkansas State surged into the team lead on day two, moving day, of the 2019 Sun Belt Conference Men's Golf Championship at the Raven Golf Club.

A-State carded 10-under as a team score in round two as they now lead by three strokes over Coastal Carolina and Georgia Southern. Both the Chanticleers and Eagles are tied for second at 10-under.

The Red Wolves had four golfers shoot par or better, led by Zan Luka Stirn and Luka Naglic. Naglic and Stirn are one-two in the race for the individual crown. Naglic is nine-under after 36 holes while Luka Stirn is tied for second along with South Alabama's Rasmus Karlsson at seven-under.

Georgia Southern's Steven Fisk is just three strokes back of Naglic but it was his performance on Monday that stood out. Fisk broke a 13-year old course record as he carded a ten-under 61 as he jumped from 50th in the individual standings to fourth.

Fisk shot a 31 on the front and a 30 on the back, posting ten birdies on the day and no bogeys. His 61 also breaks the record shot last year by Coastal's Morgan Deneen (63).

Deneen, last year's individual champion, moved into the top 20 on Monday after carding a two-under 69.

For the second consecutive year at the Sun Belt Men's Golf Championship there was a hole-in-one made on day two of the tournament. This year it was Little Rock's Danial Durisic. Durisic aced the 12th-hole on just the third hole of the day for the Trojan from Malaysia.

A total of 21 players remain at even-par or better as we head into Tuesday's final round of stroke play. After Tuesday's round, the top four teams in the standings will advance to Wednesday's match play. The top seeded team will take on the No. 4 seed while the No. 2 seed will face the No. 3 seed in semifinal matches. The winners of those two matches will square off in a finale later on Wednesday afternoon.
