Men’s Golf In 7th After First Round of ODU/OBX Intercollegiate

Avant leads the team on the first of three days of competition.

POWELLS POINT, N.C. - The Drake University men's golf team carded a first-round score of 302 to sit in a three-way tie for seventh place after the first round of the Old Dominion/Outbanks Intercollegiate at Kilmarlic Golf Club.

Tommi Avant (Chandler, Ariz.) was the Bulldogs' low scorer on the day with a 1-over par 72. Avant's score tied for the 10th best of the day. Freshman Lucas Scherf (Grinnell, Iowa) followed three strokes behind Avant with a 75 while Arjun Reddy (Tulsa, Okla.) recorded a 76. Kyle MacDonald (Burlington, Ontario) completed the team's scoring with a 79 while Chase Wicklund finished with an 80.

The Bulldogs are tied with George Mason and the host, Old Dominion with an identical 18-over par day on the par-71 layout. Campbell, the three-time champion of the event leads the team standings with a 7-under par team score of 277. Campbell had the top three scorers on the day with Jesper Svensson's 65 leading the way in the 92-golfer field that features 18 teams.

"Today was a very challenging day with strong winds gusting up to 40 mph," said Drake head coach Matt Lewis. "The first 9 holes were tough with the wind-exposed holes and we got off to a slow start. We did settle in on the back 9 and started to play well. Unfortunately we struggled on our final few holes giving several strokes away. We are in fine position and with ideal conditions forecasted we know we will have an opportunity to put up a low number. Tommi was solid all day and did a great job managing the wind."

The second round of competition begins Monday, Oct. 22, at 7:30 a.m. with the Bulldogs teeing off on the front side of the course.
