WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Julian Dugan shot a team-best 70-75-145 on the opening day of the Purdue Fall Invitational on Monday (Oct. 13) to lead the Purdue Fort Wayne men's golf team.
Dugan's opening round featured five birdies and 11 pars. After a bogey on hole one, he was 4-under over the next 11 holes with birdies on two, six, seven and 12. He finished the first round with a birdie on 15. In round two, he birdied six and seven again, the former of which is a 598-yard sweeping par-5 around a marsh. Dugan's 145 put him in 17th place.
Justin Hicks shot 78-73-151 for 50th place. The sophomore turned in 14 pars in round one, including the last five of the round. In his second trip through the tough Kampen-Cosler course, Hicks birdied four holes: the 17th, first, seventh and ninth.
Nick Bellush turned in a 74-78-152, which was good for 55th place. He birdied his second hole of the day, the 392-yard No. 1. He had 14 pars to go with his birdie, nothing worse than a bogey in round one. In the afternoon, Bellush had birdies on eight and 15. His second round was highlighted by a seven-hole bogey-free stretch with the birdie on eight in the middle.
Two shots behind Bellush, Nick Holder shot 76-78-154. Holder birdied holes one and six in his first trip through the course, the latter of which sparked a stretch of six pars in a row. In his second round, Holder started the front nine with seven holes of par or better, including a birdie on four. He is in a tie for 61st place.
Brock Reschly rebounded from a tough opening round of 95 with a solid 76 in round two. He rattled off 15 pars and a birdie on the 385-yard 14th in round two. He is in 78th place.
As a team, the Mastodons shot 298-302-600 for 14th place.
On the adjacent Ackerman-Allen course, Cody Coleman (73, T-6th) and Brady Moore (79, T-24th) competed in the Purdue Fall Individual.
The final round of the Purdue Fall Invitational and Purdue Fall Individual will begin on Tuesday morning (Oct. 14).
