Following in the third spot is newcomer sophomore Michael Terblanche (Hilton, KawZulu-Natal, South Africa) who shot a 1-under 69 in the second round of The Gator to spark his career debut.
Both graduate students, Rory Franssen (Inverness, Scotland) and Walker Kesterson (Ashland, Mo.) round out the Tiger lineup in the fourth and fifth spots. Kesterson is back and looking to build off of his Mizzou debut event in the fall.
Returning to compete as an individual again is junior Tommy Boone (Plano, Texas) after he tied his season-low round score of 72.
