MARION, IA- The Graceland men's golf team completed the second round of the Klocke Family Classic hosted by Mount Mercy University on Sunday at the Hunters Ridge Golf Course.

"I think we need to believe in ourselves in order to be successful," said Kevin Brunner, head coach. "The mental game is such a large part of golf. I am confident we can improve but individually we need to believe."
Leading the way for Graceland was sophomore Jordan Lester who compiled a score of 159 (+15) finished in 54th. He shot an 80 the first day, turning around to card a 79 on the second day. Currin was two strokes behind Lester with a 161 (79-82). Mark Fink had a challenging day on the course with an 87 in the second round. He totaled a 164 to tie for 64th.
