Carolina junior Austin Hitt turned an eagle and four birdies into a second-round 67 to lead the Tar Heels to seventh-place after 36 holes at the Arizona State University Thunderbird Collegiate played Friday at Papago Golf Course in Phoenix.
UNC is one of 10 top-50 ranked teams in the 14-school field, which will conclude play with a final 18 holes on Saturday.
Hitt shot a 1 over 72 in the morning round, but eagled the 12th hole en route to his 67, which sends to him Saturday in seventh place in the individual standings.
