AUSTIN, Texas – Oklahoma State's men's golf team used the round of the day at the NCAA Austin Regional on Tuesday to move into second place at the University of Texas Golf Club.

Of the 14 participating teams, the Cowboys were the only squad to break par, tallying a 2-under 282 to move up one spot on the leaderboard at the par-71, 7,355-yard layout. Through 36 holes, OSU stands at 1-over 569 and just four strokes behind host Texas, which maintained its lead after carding a 288 to come in with a 565 total. Ole Miss dropped into third place with its 576 total.

UT's Doug Ghim followed an opening 68 with a 69 to move into first place in the individual race at 5-under 137.

Kristoffer Ventura continued to lead OSU's starting five, using a 1-under 70 to move up three spots into a tie for seventh place at 141. The junior turned in a nearly unblemished card that included 15 pars, birdies at the seventh and ninth as well as his lone bogey at the 16^th.

Senior Zachary Olsen matched his teammate with a 70 of his own to climb 12 spots into a tie for 12^th place at 143. Olsen opened with a birdie at the first before eventually turning in 1-over 36. However, he rallied with a bogey-free inward nine that included birdies at the 13^th and 16^th to move back under par for the day.

Freshman Viktor Hovland was also among the group tied for 12^th place after following an opening 71 with a 72.
