DAVIDSON, N.C. – Jack Lang (-7) is tied for the individual lead and Davidson (578 | +2) is one off the pace following two rounds of the 2018 River Run Collegiate.

The 54-hole event is being played on the Par 72, 7,317-yard River Run Country Club layout.

Highlighted by nine birdies in round one, Lang finished the day with 15 in all and will enter Tuesday’s final round tied with Furman’s Keller Harper (68-69 | 137).

Davidson’s Viraj Garewal (71-72 | 143), who began his collegiate career with a Top-15 showing, continued his impressive play as the freshman sits tied for fifth with five others six back.

Hoke Carlton (79-71 | 150), Clayton Tribus (72-80 | 152) and Alex Ross (75-82 | 157) are also in the starting lineup for the Wildcats, who are one off the lead held by cross-county rival Charlotte (577 | +1).
