GAINESVILLE, Fla - Auburn men's golf holds steady in second place at 19-under-par following Saturday's action at the Gator Invitational at Mark Bostic Golf Course. 

The No. 2 Tigers shot 11-under in the morning round but were not quite able to complete the second set of 18 before the day was called due to darkness. 

Both junior Jackson Koivun and Jake Albert lead individually heading into Sunday's finale after the pair shot 64s (-6) in the morning wave and stand at 2-under with holes still on the table in the middle round. Both men are currently 8-under. 

Junior Josiah Gilbert is 3-under after an even 70 in the morning and a solid 17 holes in the afternoon. Freshman Logan Reilly sits at -1. Junior Cayden Pope is even-par. Sophomore Billy Davis is 3-over, and sophomore Tyler Spielman is 7-over. Both Spielman and Reilly are competing as individuals. 

No. 10 Florida leads by three strokes on its home course with a round and change left to play.
