SUGAR GROVE, Ill.--Tulsa trimmed 25 strokes off of their opening round score as the Golden Hurricane shot a second-day 280 to overtake Louisville for the lead in the 2007 NCAA Men's Golf Regional at Rich Harvest Farms on Friday, hosted by Northern Illinois University.

"We made a lot of birdies," Tulsa head coach Bill Brogden said. "We have a good team and we've played well all year. We got the ball in the fairway today and we took the opportunities to make some birdies, because the golf course is in fabulous shape."

"My whole team is very similar," Brogden continued. "They've known each other since they were 11 years old. They do the same things on the course. We've got five guys that can play."

Tulsa's Ryan Henry and Brett Myers each find themselves tied for fifth at one-over-par following rounds of 68 and 74, respectively. As a team, Tulsa holds a seven-stroke tournament lead with a two-round tally of 585.

Louisville is in second place with a 592, followed by Lamar (594), Alabama (596), Tennessee (603), Minnesota (604), Texas (605), Oklahoma State (606), Texas Tech (606), Texas A&M (607), Wisconsin (609), Michigan State (609), Northwestern (609), Southeastern La. (613), Illinois State (614), Western Illinois (617), Wichita State (618), Baylor (620), SMU (623), Nebraska (624), Kansas (624), Colorado (625), Oklahoma (626), Purdue (630), TCU (647), Siena (657) and Texas Southern (687).

Lamar's Dawie Van Der Walt is the individual leader at four-under-par (140), following his second-round tally of 69. Louisville's Daryl Fathauer is one stroke behind Van Der Walt at 141 (71-70), followed by Wisconsin's Dan Woltman (E), Western Illinois' Tim Streng (E) and Henry and Myers.
