BARK RIVER, Mich. – Sophomore Kevin Jegers led the way for the Middle Tennessee men's golf team as the Blue Raiders closed out their first 36 holes at the Island Resort Intercollegiate, hosted by South Dakota State at the par-72, 7,375-yard Sage Run Golf Club.
The Blue Raiders wrapped up their first two rounds Sunday, posting scores of 292-293 to head into the final round in fifth on the 10-team leaderboard, just one stroke behind SDSU in fourth.
Jegers closed the day with scores of 71 (-1) in round one and 70 (-2) in round two. The Estonia native led the team in birdies and eagles with eight and one respectively. Jegers' consistent first two rounds of the season have him sitting in a two-way tie for fifth and only three shots behind first.
Graduate student Nick Wolf, redshirt junior Palmer Sadlowski, and redshirt junior Michael Barnard all sit in a tie for 25th with 149 through 36 holes. Wolf jumped up 10 spots after a one-stroke improvement from round one with 74 (+2) in round two. Sadlowski and Barnard had identical day ones with scores of 73 (+1) and 76 (+4).
Closing out the Blue Raider lineup was sophomore Owen Stamper in a tie for 37th, who bounced back from a round one 78 (+6) with a round two 73 (+1).
The two individuals, redshirt sophomore Gavin Clements and redshirt sophomore Mattias Varjun, finished in ties for 37th and 42nd respectively. Both Clements and Varjun stroked eagles in round two.
QUOTING COACH MCENTIRE
"Saw some good things today and saw some things that need to improve," head coach Mark McEntire. "We did not capitalize on the scoreable holes and made some big numbers. The plan tomorrow is to minimize the big numbers and move up the board. Great play from Kevin today and I'm looking for everyone to improve tomorrow."

The Blue Raiders will resume the Island Resort Intercollegiate Monday morning. GolfStat.com will continue to provide live results of the event.
