NCAA Men's Golf Championships 2016: Results, Leaderboard Standings from Saturday

The Vanderbilt Commodores are atop the leaderboard after the second round of play at the 2016 NCAA Men's Golf Championships in Eugene, Oregon, on Saturday.

Arkansas started off in the lead after posting a two-over mark Friday, but the first-round leaderboard looked a little different than Saturday, as the NCAA showed:

The Razorbacks cooled off Saturday and now sit three shots off the lead. Arkansas is a surprising contender, as it is ranked outside the top 20, according to GolfStatResults.com.

On the contrary, Stanford has been a colossal disappointment. The Cardinal entered the championships as the No. 1-ranked team in the nation, but the school is toiling near the bottom of the pack. There is still a day of play remaining, but Stanford looks to be essentially eliminated from advancing to the next stage.

TCU also struggled immensely Saturday. The Horned Frogs were contenders after Round 1, but the team shot a dreadful 19-over to seemingly knock itself out.

On the individual side, San Diego State's Nahum Mendoza III relinquished his Day 1 lead, as he is now a shot back at four under. USC freshman Justin Suh is now the man to beat, but others are on his tail, per NCAA associate director of media services Rick Nixon:

At No. 8, Robby Shelton is the highest-ranked golfer in the top three. Stanford's Maverick McNealy, the top-ranked golfer in the nation, sits all the way down in a tie for 93rd with a one-over mark thus far.

It is apparent that the leaderboard drastically changes from day to day, so nothing is set in stone. USC and Vanderbilt have been the most consistent teams, so they are the best bets to remain ahead of the field when stroke play concludes Monday.

Post Round Reaction

Vanderbilt may be the leader, but USC feels good about its standing after two rounds.

Trojans head coach Chris Zambri commented on his team's mindset moving forward, per the Associated Press (via ESPN.com).

"I don't think the strategy really changes day to day, so you really got to drive it in the fairway," Zambri said. "I like where we are. There is so much golf left, so it's a nice way to start, but there is a lot to play."

Suh chose to focus on his team's performance rather than his personal play.

"Approaching the NCAAs, the team focused on certain parts of the game that we expected to see, and we're trying to score as well as we can," he said, per the AP. "As far as my start, it's just a matter of staying patient."

USC and Vanderbilt have never won a men's golf title, per NCAA.com, but the two schools are playing solid at the moment. Much can change, but expect these two to be factors for the rest of the tournament.
