Kyle Hanquist, a UNL mechanical and materials engineering alum, and his teammate, Kevin Neitzel, are one step closer to the $500,000 top price after advancing to the second round of The Golf Channel’s “Driver vs. Driver.”

The show's contestants design drivers for sporting goods giant Wilson, which will pick one driver to be manufactured and sold under the Wilson Staff brand beginning in 2017.

New episodes air Tuesdays at 9 p.m. You can watch the first episode online now at http://golfchannel.com/drivervsdriver. The next episode is scheduled for October 18.
