The Pepperdine men’s golf team, ranked eighth nationally, completed the second round of the Southern Highlands Intercollegiate in Las Vegas. After Monday’s play at the Southern Highlands Golf Club, the Waves are tied for ninth place as they head into Tuesday’s final round.

Mahanth Chirravuri started strong with three birdies in his first six holes but encountered bogeys on holes seven and eight. He recovered with birdies on 16 and 18, finishing the day in 13th place overall and two under par for the tournament.

Willy Walsh dropped to 22nd overall after a difficult front nine but managed par from holes 10 through 17 and closed with a birdie on 18. He is even par heading into the final round.

Luke Dariotis began his round with two pars and a birdie on hole three but struggled on holes five through eight with bogeys. He finished with a birdie on 18, carding a four-over-par 76 for the day and is five over for the tournament.

Byungho Lee was consistent early, making par or better on eight of his first nine holes. However, he bogeyed four times on the back nine and is now six over par entering Tuesday.

Brady Siravo had difficulty at the start, triple-bogeying hole one and double-bogeying hole two. He ended his round five over par and is seven over for the tournament.

Oscar Bach improved from Sunday’s opening round by moving up four spots individually. He recorded birdies at both ends of his front nine and made par or better on seven of his last eight holes. Bach is five over for Monday’s round and thirteen over for the tournament.

In team standings, Virginia leads at fifteen under par, followed by Auburn at thirteen under. Pepperdine shares ninth place with San Diego State at nine over par.
