COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The weather was nothing short of miserable but the Colorado men's golf team dealt with the conditions better than most and stood in second in Ohio State's Robert Kepler Intercollegiate after two rounds Saturday.

No. 31 Michigan State leads with a 37-over par 605 team score, with the Buffaloes right on the Spartans' heels with a 638.

Light rain fell off and on throughout the afternoon, with the temperatures in the upper 40s and winds gusting to 20 mph.

A good performance in the meet will go a long way for the Buffaloes in their attempt to qualify for the NCAA Championships, as there are five top 50 and nine other top 100 (all in the top 85) teams competing in Columbus.

The Buffaloes were the only team through two rounds with four players in the top 25 and joined by only Kent State with all five in the top 40. CU and Kent State are tied for the most holes under par through two rounds with 17; the Buffs had 16 birdies and an eagle Saturday, while the Golden Flashes had theirs on all birdies.

Sophomore Luke Symons, looking for a fourth straight top 20 finish, was CU's leader Saturday after posting scores of 72 and 78 for an 8-over 150, good enough for seventh place heading into today's final round.

The final round is scheduled for a 7 a.m. MDT shotgun start today, but could be delayed or even cancelled due to the weather.
