ATHENS, Ga. —  The Georgia men's golf team ended round two at the Linger Longer Invitational in third place on Monday afternoon, led by a five-under-par 67 from Buck Brumlow.

Currently in third, the Bulldogs tied for the second-lowest score during round two, carding a 10-under, 278 as a team. No. 16 Alabama leads the field at 37-under, while No. 13 Virginia stands in second at 21-under, 555, leading Georgia by two strokes.

Brumlow moved up 22 spots in the individual leaderboards after carding his 67 during round two, which tied him for the second-lowest round of anyone on Tuesday. The junior started the day five-under on the front nine including Georgia's third eagle on hole six during the tournament, a 557-yard, par five. He heads into the final round tied for seventh at six-under, 138.

Camden Smith remained in the top 10 after a second-straight day with a three-under 69, also standing tied for seventh at six-under. A freshman, Smith bogeyed just one hole during round two and upped his birdie total to 11 in the tournament, tied for the third-most in the field.

Connor Creasy and Beck Burnette, the latter of which is competing individually, carded the same scores of two-under 70, and now both stand tied for 13^th. Senior Caleb Manuel carded an even-par 72 to round out the final counting score for the Bulldogs.
