MADERA, Calif. - The Princeton University men's golf team showed a dramatic improvement from the first round to the second round, cutting 16 strokes from an opening-day 315 to post a 299 on Friday.

Judd Pritchard again led the way for the Tigers with a 151 (75-76). He currently stands in a six-way tie for 99th place. Cassidy Traub shot a 153, which included Princeton's best performance so far on the back nine (81-72). Traub is tied for 106th place, just ahead of Peter McWhorter, who is tied for 122nd place after shooting a 156 (80-76). James Milam shot a 157 (82-75) and is in 124th place, one spot ahead of Nat Hoopes. The Ivy League individual champion struggled to a 158 (79-79).
Byu currently leads the competition with a 557, one stroke better than Arizona. Fresno State and Southern California are within three strokes of the lead.
