LIHUE, Hawai'i – Long Beach State is just three shots off the lead after 36 holes at the Big West Men's Golf Championship at Wailua Golf Course, trailing only UC Irvine going into Tuesday's final round.

The Beach were in a tie for fourth and 10 shots off the lead after the first 18 holes, but tied for the low score in round two to gain seven shots on the Anteaters and move into sole possession of second place. LBSU (+13) will look to catch UCI (+10) on Tuesday while holding off UC Davis (+15) and Cal State Fullerton (+16) in the most immediate chase pack.
Reed was steady for the Beach on Monday, shooting aa 1-over 73 in round one before shooting even-par in the second round. His first 18 was active, as he rode a roller coaster of a front nine with three birdies and two bogeys to make the turn at -1. He bogeyed twice on the back nine to emerge a shot over par for the round, and played mostly to par in the second. He bogeyed No. 2 and birdied No. 4 before collecting 14 straight pars to stay near the top of the leaderboard.
