HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS,
Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Juniors Chad Ebert (Kenosha, Wis.) and Cam Fuller (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.) continued
to lead the Green Bay men's golf team at the 2012 Horizon League Championships
on Saturday, and the Phoenix will enter the final round just two strokes off
the lead.
Green Bay has a two-day total of 607 after shooting
18-over 306 in round two, while Loyola came from behind the pack with a 291 on Saturday
and leads with a 36-hole score of 605.
Detroit (610, +34), Cleveland State (611, +35) and Valparaiso (614, +38) round
out the top five and are all within 10 strokes of the lead.
Ebert and Fuller both followed their round one 74s
with a pair resilient 4-over par 76s and are tied with three others for second
place with 36-hole scores of 6-over 150. Detroit's Lucas Kim leads the field by
three strokes at 3-over 147.
Ebert had a
resilient round of 4-over 76 on Saturday. The junior bogeyed his first three
holes and had a triple bogey seven on the seventh hole to make the turn in 6-over
41. Ebert responded by birdying 10, 14 and 15 to shoot a 2-under 35 on the
inward nine. With three birdies on his own card, Fuller also carded a 76 on
Saturday.
Sophomore Dan Ozga (Edgerton, Wis.) also shot a 76 on Saturday and is tied for 12h place
at 9-over 153. Ozga birdied the opening hole for the second-straight day and tallied
a team-high 13 pars in his round.
Tyler Schmidt (Jefferson, Wis.) was
five-over through seven holes, but the freshman birdied the ninth hole and
carded eight pars on the back nine to finish with a 6-over 78. Schmidt is tied
for 30th overall.
In a tie for 19th at 11-over 155, sophomore Sam Weber (Heartland, Wis.) is the
fourth Phoenix golfer in the top-20 after rounds of 76 and 79.
Green Bay's final round tee times will get underway on
