Yturralde, Coons tied for 40th through two rounds of CMU co-hosted tournament
NAPA, Calif. – Central Michigan Men's Golf is 10th after the first day of the inaugural Bridgestone Collegiate Invitational at the Silverado Resort on Monday, a venture between the PGA Tour's Pathway to Progression and the Golf Coaches Association of America, which CMU is a co-host of.
"We've worked so hard to get to this point and it's finally beginning to take place," said CMU Head Coach Kevin Jennings of the event. "It's moving by, from all that planning, and now we're almost done, but it's very exciting, very fulfilling and encouraging for the development of our program."
As a team, the Chippewas finished +30, 301 – 305 – 606 through the first two rounds of the two-day, three round tournament, which will conclude on Tuesday.
"This may be the toughest venue we've played this year," Jennings added. "The course is playing very fair, however it's very challenging, and I think the guys are faring decent-to-well.
"I'm always using the analogy, 'if our program were human right now, we'd be learning to walk and talk.' In doing that, we understand that there's going to be bumps, scrapes and bruises sometimes until we gain our balance. We're in the process in understanding what we need to do to keep our balance."
Philippe Yturralde and Orlando Coons are both tied for 40th after two rounds, carding a day's total of 151 (+7). Yturralde shot 75 and 76, Coons 76 and 75 on the par 72 course.
Also tied are Jeffrey Andrus and Arie Jackman, who carded a two-round total of 153 (+9). Jackman shot 2-over in round one and 79 in round two. Andrus shot 76 and 77, respectively.
Easton Phillips is tied for 54th heading into Tuesday's final round, having shot 79 and 77 for a day's total of 156 (+12).
"I told the team to 'remember the jewels I impart to you,'" Jennings said of his provided wisdom for tomorrow's round. "'Remember your training, allow yourself to do what is is you know how to do, and trust your instincts.'"
Brigham Young leads the tournament through two rounds with a team score of 280 – 285 – 565. BYU's Cooper Jones is first in the rankings with 69 – 67 – 136.
"We're looking forward to continue hosting this event next year and beyond and making it even better," Jennings said. "It's probably the most competitive event and most challenging course we've played this year, but it's in preparation for (MAC Championships) … and preparation for what we have to come."
