LA QUINTA, California – Ian Maspat of the Pepperdine men's golf team continues to lead at a separate tournament for individual players, while the rest of the Waves began moving up the leaderboard at The Prestige on Tuesday.

Only half of the 24 teams completed the second round before darkness set in. Pepperdine was in the morning wave and is one the teams that finished. The Waves have moved up six spots and currently stand in 16th place with a two-day total of 605 (305-300) at the par-71 Greg Norman Course at PGA West.

On another windy day, the Waves had the second-lowest score of the day among the 12 teams that finished. Their place on the leaderboard is likely to improve as teams finish the second round on Wednesday morning.
