OOLTEWAH, Tenn. – UNF shot a 5-over, 293 to share 14th place at the 2010 Division I NCAA Men’s Golf Championships while Rhys Enoch shot 2-over , 74 in Second Round play at The Honors Course.

Despite a rain delay and the eventual darkness that ended his second round a bit prematurely, Enoch (Cornwall, England) still enjoyed another solid performance Wednesday in the NCAA Championships at The Honors Course.

While a pair of birdies put him at 2-under 34 on the front nine, Enoch suffered a bogey on the 10th and a double bogey on the 16th before play was suspended. Though he stands at 1-over for the round and the tournament, two holes remain on his card in the second round, including a birdie opportunity on the Par 5 17th.

UPDATE
In Thursday morning action, Enoch bogeyed the 17th hole and parred the 18th to finish at 2-over, 146 through two rounds

“I made a double on the last hole so I’m not real pleased right now, but I’m reasonably happy with my play so far,” Enoch said. “I still have some opportunities out there for tomorrow morning, so my goal is to learn from my mistakes today and just go out there relaxed tomorrow. I want to play solid golf and be aggressive when I can.”
