NAPA, Calif. – Chippewa golfers played through the first 36 holes of the Bridgestone Collegiate Invitational on the North Course of the Silverado Country Club and Resort Monday afternoon.
The 14-team, 72-hole tournament boasts an 80-man field, and is hosted by Central Michigan.
Easton Phillips leads the Chippewas, he finished tied for 50th, shooting 78 (+6) over the first 18 and 74 (+2) on the second, totaling 153.
Jeffrey Andrus and Jeffrey Sager tied at 156 on the day, good for 62nd in the field. Andrus carded 78 (+6) in both rounds, Sager recorded an 83 (+11) before a 10-stroke improvement of 73 (+1) in the second round.
Keith Hunter and Nicholas Kilgore rounded out the Chippewas team performance. Hunter placed 73rd with round one and two scores of 83 (+11) and 78 (+6), respectively, for a 161 total. Kilgore recorded 84 (+12) over the first round and closed the day at 80 (+8) tying for 75th at 164.
Orlando Coons, entering the tournament as an individual withdrew before the second round. He carded 80 (+8) over the first 18 holes.
The Chippewas finished the day in 13th place, with a round one steam score of 323 and a round two score of 303, totaling 626 on the day.
The Chippewas look to continue their round-by-round improvement heading into the final day of the Bridgestone Collegiate.
"I think we showed a little bit more resiliency and a little more strength of character in the fact that we were able to dig in and play a little better," CMU Head Coach Kevin Jennings said of the Chippewa golfers after round two, "That's always the sign of a good team and a good competitor when you're able to learn, apply, and elevate."
Tohoku Fukushi University, hailing from Japan, holds a seven-stroke lead over the field, totaling 562 after day one. Santa Clara holds second place at 569, followed closely by Nihon University (Japan) at 570.
Chippewa golfers will tee off Tuesday for the final 18 holes of the Bridgestone Collegiate.
