Columbia, Mo. -

Missouri Golf finished its first day of play at the 2011 Big 12 Championship and the Tigers are 10^th after 36 holes at the Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kan.

 

Difficult weather conditions inflated scores on the par-70 course as no team came within 11 shots of par during the second round. Oklahoma State was three strokes over par after the first round, but saw its team total jump nine shots in the second round. The Cowboys hold a slim three-shot advantage over Texas and a four-shot lead over Oklahoma.

 

Stuart Ballingall leads Missouri with rounds of 74-73—147. Ballingall is 18^th overall and just two shots removed from the Top 10. Freshman Emilio Cuartero is also amongst the field's Top 25, shooting rounds of 73-75—148.

 

Jace Long, Will Harrold and Nick Wilson rounded out the Tiger players. Long shot rounds of 76 and 78, while Harrold and Wilson are tied for 46 with two-round totals of 155.

 

Cowboy golfers Kevin Tway and Morgan Hoffman lead the event with 1-under-par scores of 139.

 

Action continues tomorrow morning with 18 holes of play and concludes Wednesday with the final round.
