FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. � Edmond Santa Fe golfer Matt Helms sits in a five-way tie for eighth place at the AJGA Arkansas Junior at Blessings Golf Club.
The junior-to-be moved up nine spots on Tuesday after carding a 4-over-par 76.
Helms posted a 78 in the first round of the competition.
Helms picked up birdies on hole Nos. 5, 6 and 17 on the round.
Jesse Droemer (Sealy, Texas) currently holds an eight stroke advantage over the closest competitor, with rounds of 75-66, as he is 3-under for the tournament.
�My goal on this course was anything around 75, so this is the best I could have hoped for, I made a lot of putts,� Droemer said. �I was hitting fairways and greens and two-putting on the front nine, then I got going on the back and almost holed out twice from the fairway.�
Memorial freshman-to-be Taylor Moore is tied for 33rd with scores of 81-80 in his first two rounds.
Derek Meyers is tied for 51st, while Chase Griggs is tied for 66th with Colby Vollmann.
