BALTIMORE, Md. -- The Purdue men's golf team played the final six holes during round two in 4-under par to carry some momentum into tomorrow's final round at the Big Ten Championships at the Baltimore Country Club.

Purdue was 14-over par as a team through the first 12 holes, but managed eight birdies over the final six holes to move up the standings. Purdue recorded just five combined birdies on the first 12 holes of the day.
Kent Hsiao led Purdue with a 2-under par 68, moving up 24 spots into 17th place at even-par 140 (72-68).
