Colt Sherrell
Skyler Eubank
Day Two – Men’s State Amateur
If you didn’t know any better, you’d think that the leaderboard on day two of the 2020 Idaho Men’s State Am was actually for a college tournament.
Colt Sherrell, the leader on day one and Idaho Vandal, still has the lead. At least a share of the lead. Firing a smooth 70 in round two he sits at -7 for the championship, but not without some company.
The Boise State Bronco contingent came out firing on all cylinders in calmer conditions. Skyler Eubank roared into a share of the lead at -7 with a tremendous 67. With his only bogey of the day coming on the front nine, Eubank kept the card clean on the back shooting a routine looking 32.
Hugo Townsend, Eubank’s teammate, put together the round of the day shooting a monster 66 (-6). If the number isn’t that impressive, then maybe the way he did it is: one bogey, seven birdies. Five of Townsend’s seven birdies came on the back nine alone and vaulted him into third.
Connor Johnstone, who trailed by two at the end of day one and is also a Bronco, scrapped around the golf course for a 71 (-1) which brought his championship total to -4, and a spot at fourth on the leaderboard.
But wait, there’s more.
Josh Gliege, former Texas A&M Aggie and now soon to be Bronco, sits just five shots back at -2 with Tristan Belue , College of Idaho commit, in a tie for fifth.
Ten players sit at even par or better for the start of round 3 on Saturday. With a forecast that calls for low winds, scoring will likely be at a premium.
One thing is for sure: tomorrow’s champ will have earned the title.
