MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – When play resumed on Monday morning, the University of Louisville men’s golf team shot a 5-under-par 283 and will head into the final round of the Michael A. Marino in third place after 36 holes.

The field was able to complete the final nine holes of the second round at the Coastal Carolina hosted tournament on Monday morning with Liberty sharing the lead with NC State.
