On the Cut

By Jordan Moore on May 31, 2012 10:40 AM | 1 Comment

After a miserable opening round, USC men's golf rallied at Riviera by shooting the low round of the day (+2 as a team) to move into a tie for eighth as play begins Thursday at the NCAA Championships. At the end of today's round, the 30-team field will be cut down to eight for three elimination rounds of match play, so the Trojans are sitting spot on the cut line.
Click here for yesterday's recap.

Junior Sam Smith provided the microcosm for USC's effort as a team this tournament. He rebounded from an ugly 79 in the first round to lead the Trojans with a sparkling 2-under 69 in round two.
