Western Kentucky's Billy Tom Sargent got off to a rough start, but finished strong in his second round at the NCAA Championships on Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark.

After a brutal first nine holes, the redshirt senior caught fire with a 33 on the front to finish with a 4-over 76 and a two-day total of 147 (71-76).

Sargent is tied for 33rd at 3 over, but he’s just one stroke out of the top 25, two shots out of the top 15 and three shots out of ninth place.

“Today was a grind from the start,” Sargent said in a news release.
