The No. 16 Alabama men's golf team increased its lead in the Linger Longer Invitational behind four Crimson Tide golfers scoring sub-par rounds during Monday's second round of play. As a result, the Tide now owns a commanding 16-stroke advantage on the field heading into final round action with a two-day team total of 37-under par 539 (267-272).

With the mark, Alabama, the defending champions of the event, set the second-lowest team total after 36 holes in school history in relation to par (-37) while the team's two-round total ranks as the fourth-lowest mark in the record books.

Individually, Jonathan Griz continues to shine as he followed his 10-under 62 on Sunday with a 5-under par 67 Monday for a 36-hole total of 15-under par 129. Additionally, JP Cave (67-70), Canon Claycomb (70-67) and Jones Free (69-68) are all tied for third at 7-under 137, giving UA four golfers inside the top-five spots.

The three-day, 54-hole event, hosted by Kennesaw State, will conclude with final round action Tuesday at the par 72, 7,436-yard Great Waters Golf Course at Reynolds Lake Oconee in Greensboro, Ga.
