COSTA MESA, Calif. – Cal Lutheran men's golf continued the SCIAC Championships on Monday morning at the par-72 Los Lagos course at Costa Mesa Country Club. The Kingsmen shot -8 as a team, with Blake Fitzhugh and Adam Cartozian leading the group each with rounds of -4.

After a -3 opening round, the Kingsmen entered round two tied for second and six strokes back of the lead.

Fitzhugh caught fire early, dropping in three-consecutive birdies on holes 3 through 5. He advanced to -4 after his fourth birdie on the par-4 hole 12. After two bogeys over the next few holes, Fitzhugh recaptured his magic by ending the round with an eagle on the par-5 hole 18. He finished at -4, which tied him for fourth individually in Monday's round. Through 36 holes, Fitzhugh sits at -4 and tied for fifth, four strokes back from the leader.

Cartozian collected six birdies through 16 holes, including his second birdies in as many days on holes 1 and 6. Through 17 holes, he was shooting -2. Like Fitzhugh, he brought home an eagle on the final hole to finish at -4. Cartozian moves to -3 after two rounds, tying him for tenth individually.

Tanner Stewart started off hot in another consistent outing, birdying the first two holes along with hole 14. He added 13 pars to end with a score of -1, putting him at -1 overall and tied for seventeenth.

Hudson Solters got off to a rocky start, shooting +4 through 6 holes, but he settled in shortly after with three birdies and no bogeys the rest of the way en route to a +1 round. Solters sits at -3 through 36 holes.

Ty Kuroda birdied four holes on his way to a second-round score of +1, bringing him to +2 heading into the final round.

The Kingsmen put forth the third-lowest team score in round two, gaining a stroke on Pomona-Pitzer. Cal Lutheran is just one stroke back from CMS, who currently sits in second.

The SCIAC Championships will resume for the final round tomorrow morning at 7:00am. The first member of the Kingsmen is scheduled to tee off at 7:45am.
