At 9-under overall and in sole ownership of second place, Surratt is one shot back from the individual lead entering Sunday.
Through his first 11 collegiate rounds this fall, Surratt has carded nine rounds of par or better.
Tennessee’s best individual score during round two came from redshirt freshman Lance Simpson, who carded a 6-under on Saturday. Simpson’s round stood as the best round of any golfer in the 75-man field during round two.
Simpson is 3-under through two rounds and tied for 20th place.
Just one stroke behind Simpson is redshirt junior Bryce Lewis, who was 3-under on Saturday and now sits at 2-under overall. Lewis, Tennessee’s third golfer inside the top 25 through two rounds, is tied for 23rd place heading into Sunday.
