NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Junior Chris Mabry (Leawood, Kan. / Bishop Miege HS) shot an four-over-par 74 on Saturday at the second round of the Notre Dame Invitational.

The tournament, which doubles as a preview for the NCAA Central Regional that the Fighting Irish will host in May, moved back on campus at the Warren Golf Course after the first round was held near Lake Michigan at Lost Dunes GC.

Mabry is tied for 33rd and is at 12-over 152 after an opening 78. He is 13 strokes behind Steve Lohmeyer of Kent State. First-round leader Ryan Yip of Kent State is a stroke back.

The Tigers improved nine strokes as a team on Saturday, shooting an aggregate 301. That bumped Missouri one spot into 10th place in the 15-team field. Mizzou is just two strokes behind Northwestern. For the second straight day, Kent State had the best round of the day and leads by a commanding 11 strokes over Colorado.

Among MU's other individuals, sophomore John Kelly (St. Louis, Mo. / Christian Brothers College HS) shot a 75 and is in a tie for 19th place at nine-over 149; junior Ben Scott (Lancashire, United Kingdom / St. Theodore's HS) shot a 76 and is just a stroke back in a tie for 39th; sophomore Shawn Jasper (Marthasville, Mo. / Francis Howell HS / Newman Univ.) matched Scott's score and improved to a tie for 67th; and sophomore Trent Twaddle (Maryville, Mo. / Maryville HS) is two spots better after shooting a second-round 78.
