BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. - The Purdue Fort Wayne men's golf team set a new 36-hole record on Monday (Sept. 11) at the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational, shooting 278-279-557 (-11).
The Mastodons topped the previous record of 559, which was set in 2007. Until Monday, it was the longest-standing program-best in the Purdue Fort Wayne men's golf record book.
As a team, Purdue Fort Wayne is in fourth at 11-under, behind Belmont (-24), Morehead State (-20) and Marshall (-14). The 'Dons are ahead of Horizon League foes Northern Kentucky (-3), Cleveland State (+1), Robert Morris (+6) and Youngstown State (+10).
Kasey Lilly shot 71-66-137 and is in the top-10 with 18 to play. In the morning, he got birdies on holes eight and 10 with a bogey-free back nine for an even 71. In the afternoon he went on a tear, turning in an eagle on hole one and birdies on four, five, eight, 10, 11, 14 and 15.
One shot back of the top-10, Burke Pitz shot 68-71-139. In his first round, he had just one bogey on hole five. He had birdies on nine, 10, 15 and 16. In the afternoon, he had birdies on eight and 10, countering his two bogeys on the back nine.
Nick Holder shot 68-72-140 to possess 19th place through 36 holes. In round one, he had birdies on holes one, two, five, eight, 11 and 17 for a 3-under 68. In the afternoon, the redshirt-sophomore had birdies on three, five, 12 and 17.
Hunter Mefford shot an even round of 71 in both the morning and afternoon. In his first round, he had birdies on holes eight and 11, shooting a bogey-free 34 on the back nine. In his second time through, Mefford did the exact same thing on the back nine. On the front in round two however, he birdied hole one instead of eight. His 71-71-142 puts him in a tie for 23rd with 18 to play.
