SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- The Covenant golf team dropped one spot in the second round of the USA South Tournament on Tuesday and heads into the final round in eighth place following a 327 on Tuesday at the Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg.

The Scots sit alone in eighth, just one spot down from where Covenant opened the round. Methodist, the No. 1-ranked team in Division III, holds a healthy lead heading into the final round as the Monarchs are 18-under par -- 21 strokes ahead of second-place Greensboro.

Isaac Duncan paced the Scots with a second round 80 on Tuesday. Will DeMersseman shot an 81, while Kenny Duffin posted an 82. Duffin had three birdies in his round, including back-to-back birdies to end the day. 

Crawford Collett and Bo Luff each shot an 84 to round out the Scots golfers.

A trio of Methodist golfers, Henry Angier, Cameron Cappuzzo, and Cooper Hrabak, are joined by Greensboro's Connor Brown in first place headed to the final day.
