The Air Force Academy men’s golf squad, which last won a team title 2 1/2 years ago, put itself in position to end that victory drought as it shares the lead after two rounds of the Ram Masters Invitational at Fort Collins Country Club.
The Falcons posted rounds of 281 and 282 on Monday to finish 36 holes at 3-over-par 563. That leaves them atop the 18-team field along with Wichita State.
Sunwoo Choi was a big reason for AFA’s strong play on Monday as the senior backed up a first-round 65 with a 70 to lead the individual competition by two over five players who share second place. Among those five are teammate Brenden Bone (69-68) and Colorado State’s Colton Yates (68-69).
Host CSU, the two-time defending team champion, holds fourth place at 567, four strokes behind the co-leaders. Northern Colorado (578) is eighth, and Denver (595) 15th.
