DALLAS — University of New Mexico men’s golfer Tom Carlson carded a 4-under-par 70-68-138 Monday, good for 10th place after two rounds at the Royal Oaks Intercollegiate. Carlson sunk five birdies during his second round and finished at 3-under, ripping off three over five holes midway through the round.
Carlson now finds himself 18 holes away from capturing his second Top-10 finish of the fall season, having tied for ninth at Golfweek’s Conference Challenge August 19-21, the Lobos’ first event of the season. The senior finished the GCC with a 4-under 71-71-70=212. He currently stands two strokes out of the top five and six out of first place going into Tuesday’s final round.
Carlson also finished tied for ninth at the 2009 Arizona Intercollegiate, his first and only other Top-10 finish as a Lobo, shooting an even-par 213 over three rounds that included a 4-under 67 in the final round.
Carlson is New Mexico’s current lone bright spot thus far at the Royal Oaks Intercollegiate, as no other member of the Lobos’ squad is in the top 35. Sam Chavez posted the next-best score for New Mexico with a 4-over 71-75-146, putting him in a tie for 38th.

Catlin, also a sophomore, is tied for 56th with an 8-over 75-75=150, while fellow Lobo Shane McDonald is tied for 70th with a 14-over 78-78=156.
New Mexico sits in 11th place with a 14-over 290-292=582. The Lobos are one of seven teams in the field ranked in the top 50 nationally, entering the event at No. 49.
The Royal Oaks Intercollegiate is the final event of the fall season for the Lobos.
