HENDERSON, Nev. -- After the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology men's golf team narrowly missed the cut by just two strokes on Wednesday afternoon, Owen King continued his run in the National Championship as an individual.

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.

On Thursday, King opened the round with three pars and a birdie, but he struggled on a tough course with 6 bogeys on the final 14 holes en route to a 5-over round of 77.

He came back on Friday and shot another 77 to finish the overall tournament at 9-over par in a tie for 69th place. His finish is the highest individual NCAA finish in program history, besting Chris Posey's 72nd place finish in 1993.

King finished the tournament ranked 27th in par-5 scoring at 6-under par.
