From Staff and Wire Reports

TOLEDO, Ohio — South Carolina is in 12th place among teams that have completed their second round at the NCAA men’s golf championships. Play was cut short Wednesday due to inclement weather at Inverness Golf Club.

USC shot a team score of 286 on Wednesday for a two-day total of 591. The Gamecocks are 23 strokes behind leader Oklahoma State.

Mark Silvers II remains USC’s top individual golfer. He improved on Tuesday’s 74 with a 2-under 69 for a +1 total of 143, and is tied for 19th place.

Also tied at 19 is Clemson junior All-American Kyle Stanley, who fired an even par 71 to beat his Tuesday round by one stroke.
