Apr 23, 2026 | Men's Golf
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Texas A&M climbed three spots on the leaderboard and broke into the top six during Thursday's action at the SEC Men's Golf Championship on the par-70, 7,005-yard Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club.
The Aggies are tied with Mississippi State after the second round, posting a 10-under 270 on the day. The Maroon & White turned in the third-best team score of the round. They shaved four strokes off their opening round tally, bringing their two-round total to 16-under 544. Texas A&M sits just one stroke behind Oklahoma at 17-under 543. Auburn surged into the lead, jumping three spots to 27-under 533, overtaking Ole Miss.
Entering the final round of stroke play, Texas A&M is four strokes ahead of South Carolina for the eighth spot and five strokes clear of Vanderbilt to make the cutoff for match play bracket.
Texas A&M's strong showing was powered by standout performances from Wheaton Ennis and Jaime Montojo, who each carded an impressive 4-under 66 in the second round. Ennis carded a bogey-free round and posted 33 on each side of the turn. Montojo closed with a 32 on the back nine, including an eagle on the par-5, 565-yard No. 15.
As a team, the Aggies stayed steady throughout the day, recording just four counting bogeys and one counting double bogey.
Shiv Parmer added a 3-under 67 and is tied for fourth at 9-under 131. The Selma, Texas, product is three strokes behind leader Jackson Koivun of Auburn, who paces the field at 12-under 128.

Head Coach Brian Kortan
On the Thursday's round...
"We had a really solid round today. We had all five guys in position to post a good score for the entire day. We were solid on the first nine and carried that through the rest of the day.
"Shiv (Parmar), Wheaton (Ennis) and Jaime (Montojo) were the catalysts today. They made 11 birdies and an an eagle and only had two bogeys between them. It always awesome to see clean cards."
On moving on to Friday's final round of stroke play...
"We know going in it takes three quality rounds to play matches. We've got a ton of confidence in each other. The guys really enjoy the challenge of SEC's and I know they'll be ready to go tomorrow."
