BLUFFTON, S.C. — Middle Tennessee men's golf finished the first day of the Colleton River Collegiate in 14th place after play was suspended due to darkness near the end of the second round. Blue Raider golfers were all one to three holes away from finishing 36 holes for the day.
MTSU was tied for 10th through one round with three members of the lineup at par or better, but it could not build any momentum in the second round, slipping to 14th at 3-over at the close of play.
Kevin Jegers is the Blue Raiders' low man heading into day two, sitting in a tie for 19th at 3-under. He has birdied two of his 15 holes in the second round and parred the rest after shooting a 71 (-1) in the first round. The Estonian will begin his day on Hole 1 Tuesday.
Playing as an individual, Luke Perkins is tied for 26th at 2-under. He is 3-under for the second round with two holes left to play.
Markus Varjun was 4-under until a triple bogey on his final hole of the first round. He sits in a tie for 43rd at even par through 35 holes.
Michael Barnard is tied for 58th at 2-over. He shot a 72 (E) in the first round and has three holes left to finish in the second.
Owen Stamper is tied for 68th at 4-over. Sheldon McKnight is in 81st place at 10-over.
By the Numbers
9 – Perkins leads the Blue Raiders with nine birdies.
28 – Jegers' 28 pars are one shy of the individual lead.
15 – Stamper and McKnight led the team with 15 birdies each for the tournament.
