Brad Tensen shot a team-best 4-under-par 68 and David Nuhn moved into a tie for 10th place with teammate Matt Rawitzer with a score of 141 as the Idaho men’s golf team remained in fifth place after Tuesday’s second day of the Western Athletic Conference Championship tournament at Rio Secco Golf Club in Henderson, Nev.

The Vandals moved up five shots from their opening-day round of 290, but tournament leader New Mexico State (557) picked up nine shots, overtaking second-place Nevada (561) and pushing its lead over third-place San Jose State (565).

NMSU’s Timothy Madigan leads the tournament with a score of 132.

Idaho will now play the final 18 holes of the three-day tournament, trying to improve for a third straight day.
