ROCKY FACE, GA – Sophomore Cody Proveaux made four birdies on the back nine to lead Clemson to a fourth place standing after two rounds of the Carpet Classic in Rocky Face, GA.

Freshman Austin Langdale is Clemson’s second best player after two rounds with a 144 score, even par. He had a 71 on Friday and a 73 on Saturday. He is in a tie for 10th place. On Saturday, he had a wild ride with five birdies, four bogeys and a double bogey.

Clemson’s second best golfer on Saturday was sophomore Miller Capps, who has had a one under par 71 thanks to three birdies and two bogeys. He was three under playing the 15th, but did have a pair of bogeys on the last four holes.
