HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology men's golf team narrowly missed the cut with a clank off the flagstick on the final hole. The Fightin' Engineers bounced back with an exceptional second round at 1-over par, but they came up just two shots shy of making the cut for the first time in program history.

Owen King led the way for the Fightin' Engineers with rounds of 73 and 70 to finish at 1-under par. His score was good enough to qualify for the final two days of competition to be the first time a Rose-Hulman men's golfer has made the cut since the cut format was put into place in 2008.

Luke Poole shot 3-over par on day one and rebounded with a 2-under round of 70 to finish at 1-over par. Poole finished just one shot away from joining King in advancing in the individual competition with the individual cut line finishing at even par. He led the team with 8 birdies which ranks 15th in the NCAA Championship field.

Aditya Reddy and Austin Frick finished in the top-100 at 7-over par, and Reddy leads the entire NCAA Championship field in pars with 28.

The Fightin' Engineers moved up 11 spots on Wednesday as they shot the 5th-best round of any team at Boulder Creek. They sat two shots outside of the cut line with five total holes to play when Poole rolled in a 15-foot slider on the 17th hole to cut the lead down to one stroke. After a bogey, Ryan Beerheide stepped up in the rough on the 18th needing to hole out in order to send the team to a playoff. He ripped a shot at the pin and drilled the flagstick in an exceptional effort for the Fightin' Engineers.

King will be just the third individual for Rose-Hulman to compete in all four rounds of the NCAA Championship. Chris Posey finished in 72nd in 1993, and Mark Adams finished in 102nd in 1984. He will tee off at 9:35 AM PT on Thursday for the third day of competition as he continues his push for an Individual National Championship.
