After a one-under 71 on Sunday, Mierl followed up with an even-par 72, tying for the team low for the second-straight day. An eagle on his second-to-last hole of the day allowed the rookie to move into the top 20 as he sits in 17th place overall (of 90 golfers) with a one-under mark through 36 holes.

Sophomore Veikka Viskari matched Mierl with an even-par 72, recording two birdies, two bogeys and 14 pars. Viskari moved up 15 places on the leaderboard and is now 56th at +5 through two rounds of action.

Through two rounds of golf, top-ranked Auburn is the only team to finish under par each day, leading the tournament with a score of -14. The Tigers stayed even in 13th place with a team score of 590 (296-294).

The final round of action is set for Tuesday morning with the Tigers teeing off at 7:55 a.m. CT.
