Sophomore Austin Hitt shot a career-low 66 to lead the University of North Carolina to a two-shot lead after two rounds in the John Hayt Collegiate Invitational at the Sawgrass Country Club.

Hitt made six birdies and an eagle in his second round, which was 10 shots better than his opening round 76. He is tied for 10^th with a 2-under-par 142.

Tar Heel freshman Ryan Gerard is tied for seventh place following his 71-70, 3-under day.

Ben Griffin shot even par and is tied for 14^th, Jose Montaño is 1 over and tied for 19^th and William Register is tied for 37^th at 3 over.

Carolina (288) trailed North Florida (284) by four strokes after the first round. The Tar Heels then shot a 7-under 281 over the second 18 holes to take a two-shot lead over Jacksonville (-5) and three over Liberty (-4).

The third and final round is Monday.
