Sophomore tied for seventh after 36 holes at Northern Intercollegiate

SUGAR GROVE, Ill. – Wisconsin sophomore Nick Robinson shot consecutive scores of 2-under par 70 in the first two rounds of the Northern Intercollegiate on Sunday at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill. Robinson's 36-hole total of 140 was a career-best and earned him a share of seventh place at -4 for the tournament entering Monday's final round.

Robinson ended both of his rounds on Sunday with a strong finishing kick. He birdied the final three holes of his morning round then was 4-under par over the final seven holes of his afternoon round.

As a team, the Badgers are tied for eighth place at 4-over par. A mere six shots separate the third through 10th place teams. While Robinson was the lone UW player under par in the day's first round, freshman Griffin Barela and senior Eddie Wajda joined him in red numbers in the afternoon. The pair each shot a 1-under par 71 on the round as Wisconsin went 2-under as a team.
