BEAUFORT, S.C. – A freshman remains at the top of the scoring for Towson University as Brad Freyberger paced the Tigers at day two of the 2022 CAA Men's Golf Championship on Monday afternoon.

Freyberger posted a one-under 71 on Tuesday at the Par 72 Cotton Dike Course, a 6,787 yard track at Dataw Island Club. The rookie rolled in an eagle put on the Par 5, 493 yard third hole to get to one under on the round.

How it Happened

Quotables - Head Coach Mike Larkin

This was truly one of those days where we were one or two swings a man away from shooting one or two under par as a team.

Brad (Riley) played a really solid round, but makes an untimely triple on seventeen, he makes par there and he shoots two under. (Justin) Griffith was in the same boat, made double on seventeen. One or two swings away there.

We're looking at the positives. The other thing there is what better shape we are in now than we were at this same tournament last year. I think at the end of the day, last year we were 40 over par. To shoot two rounds at seven over this year … we know we're just a couple swings away from being under par in a team round.

Very steady day for Bergy (Brad Freyberger). Obviously he was a little disappointed at bogeying number one, a driveable par four, but bounces back and made the eagle on three. I was there to see him birdie sixteen, a 200-yard par three over water, he put it in there and made a great putt.
