CARMEL – The California men's golf team rebounded from a tough start in the first round of the Preserve Golf Club Collegiate before play was halted due to darkness during the final holes of round two on Monday.
 
Cal (+6) found itself in a tie for 11th place after an opening-round 299, but climbed into sole possession of eighth place by the end of the day with four Golden Bears – five including individual Sihao Cong – shooting under par in the incomplete second round. The Bears will resume second-round play Tuesday with 2-8 holes remaining, having collectively shot 5-under-par in the round.
 
Kuangyu (Tony) Chen – the reigning tournament individual medalist – carded a team-best even-par 72 in the first round, fueled by three birdies on the front nine, and sits at 1-under-par through 11 holes in the second round. He's the lone Bear inside the top 20 individually, currently tied for 17th.
 
San Diego State (-18) leads the field with UCLA (-10), Oregon (-5), Long Beach State (-4) and Colorado State (-3) rounding out the top five at the current point in the incomplete second round.
