The Mountain Lions are tied for second place in the 14-team field with fellow Peach Belt Conference institution Clayton State University at three-under par 573. Young Harris shot five-under par 283 in the morning round at the par 72 Oak Mountain Golf Club and followed it up with a 290 score in the afternoon. Host West Georgia leads the event at 562.

The 283 score tied the program's low round set earlier this year and the 573 total after 36 holes set a new program standard, surpassing the 576 set earlier this fall at the Full Moon BBQ Invitational.
