Columbia, S.C. – University of South Carolina men’s golfer Eirik Johansen fired a one-under-par 141 to leave him in a tie for 10th place after two rounds of the Western Refining All-American Golf Classic in El Paso, Texas.

Johansen shot a two-under-par 69 in the first round to leave him just three strokes out of the lead. Johansen’s second-round 72 puts him 12 strokes out of the lead after Arizona’s Chris Nallen fired a record-setting second-round 63 to get him to 13-under-par for the tournament.
