GREENVILLE, N.C. - Kasey Lilly was the only player in the ECU Intercollegiate field of 96 golfers to record two eagles in the opening round on Monday (March 20).
The opening day of the ECU Intercollegiate was cut short, with part of the field not completing round two. Full results of round two and three will be publicized tomorrow (Tuesday, March 21).
Lilly's first eagle came on hole 15, a 345-yard par-4 with some tricky greenside bunkers. After finishing the first nine with a 76, the senior dropped in his second eagle on hole two, a 509-yard par-5 with a creek guarding the approach. Lilly finished the front nine with a birdie on nine to finish the morning round at 76. This included a 2-under 34 on the front. In round two, Lilly started with an even back nine. He birdied 12 and bogeyed 16. With three to play, he birdied the seventh. Lilly shot 76-74-150.
Jadden Ousley was the second-best Mastodon in round one, turning in a 78-75-153. He had two pars and a birdie in his first three holes, then rattled off seven straight pars from 16-4. In round two, he birdied seven and 17 while parring 12 holes to turn in a 75. Ousley was even on the front nine.
Burke Pitz shot 82-72-154. He birdied hole six to go with eight pars in the morning. In round two, he rattled off four birdies on the back nine. They came on 11, 12, 16 and 18. Then he birdied five on his second time through the front nine. Pitz was even on the front nine in the afternoon.
Hunter Mefford shot 82-73-155 to finish one shot behind Pitz. After a rough first nine holes, Mefford was even for the rest of the day. He shot 1-under on the front nine both times through. In the morning, he birdied 1, 2 and seven. In the afternoon, he birdied two again, and six for the first time.
Nick Holder shot 80-79-159. He birdied hole 13 in round one and holes three, eight and 17 in round two.
Jarred Bowser shot 80-82-162 in his first collegiate action.
