ROCKY FACE, Ga. — South Carolina shot 290 (+2) in the second round of the Carpet Capital Collegiate on Saturday. Sophomore Caleb Proveaux is T-8th individually after shooting a 3-under round of 69.

QUOTING COACH Bill McDonald

“Caleb played really well, and Scott had a pretty solid round. We are really close to playing well as a team, and I think the guys are a little frustrated overall. Hoverer, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this team go low tomorrow for the final round.”

ROUND CHANGER Caleb Proveaux

Proveaux has now shot under-par twice to begin the 2017-18 season with his 69 (-3) on Saturday. He just missed tying his career 18-hole low of 68 today. It’s the second time in his young career Proveaux has shot in the 60s. He’s posted one eagle, nine birdies and 19 pars in 36 holes at The Farm.

NOTABLE

Caleb Proveaux is tied for the field lead in par-3 scoring average at 2.75. He’s 2-under on the short holes this week. He’s the only player in the field to eagle the 367-yard par-4 16th hole after his two today.
Will Miles leads the team with 11 birdies.
Scott Stevens carded his 35th career round of par or better on Saturday with his 71 (-1).
Miles, Proveaux and Stevens have combined for 29 of the team’s 33 birdies.

UP NEXT

The Gamecocks will be paired with Dalton State and Kennesaw State in the final round on Sunday. Spiegler will lead things off at 9:17 a.m. for South Carolina. Proveaux will be the final tee time of the morning at 10 a.m.
