CINCINNATI - AJ Agnew of the Purdue Fort Wayne men's golf team is pacing the way at the Gateway Logistics Invitational after shooting 67-71-138 on Monday (Oct. 20). As a team, the Mastodons are in second, just four shots off the lead.
Agnew, who is playing as an individual, is tied with three others for the individual lead. Agnew shot 67 in the opening round thanks to a very clean scorecard with four birdies and just one bogey. This matched his career-low in an 18-hole round. He started his day with a birdie on hole seven, ended with a birdie on six, and birdied 14 and 16 in between. In the afternoon round, Agnew shot 71 with five more birdies. Those came on holes 10, 11, one, two and four. Agnew is seeking his first top-five finish of his collegiate career.
Brock Reschly led those competing for the team score with a 68-72-140 opening day and is tied for fifth. He had nothing worse than a bogey all day. He started with a bogey-free front nine with birdies on holes one, five and seven, then birdied 11, 14 and 16 later on his 1-over back nine. In round two, Reschly was 1-over on both sides, both featuring a birdie and two bogeys. He birdied holes seven and 14. He is just two strokes off Agnew's field-leading 138 with 18 to play. Reschly is looking for his sixth top-10 and second top-five finish as a Mastodon.
Justin Hicks is tied for seventh after his day of 70-71-141. He birdied holes five, seven, 13, 14 and 17 in his first trip through the course for an even 70. His second round was much steadier, as he had a birdie on seven with just two bogeys to go with 15 pars. Hicks is seeking the second top-10 of his Mastodon career.
One stroke behind Hicks, Nick Bellush shot 73-69-142 on Monday for ninth place. He put together a performance of 13 pars with a pair of back-to-back birdies on holes seven and eight in round one. In the afternoon, Bellush had a bogey-free back nine with birdies on 15 and 18. He added another birdie on seven. With 18 to play, Bellush is on pace for his second top-10 of his career.
Brady Moore shot 68-76-144 in his first time in the Mastodon lineup. His 68 in the morning round was bookended by birdies on four and five, between which he managed birdies on 10, 14 and three. He added 10 pars for his 2-under performance, the lowest of his career. In the afternoon, Moore secured an eagle on hole seven and a birdie on 14 to pair well with 10 pars. He is in a tie for 16th place with 18 to go.
Julian Dugan rounded out those competing for the team score with a 75-75-150 for 41st place. He had birdies on holes seven, 16 and 18 in round one and holes 14, 16 and 18 in round two.
Gavin Hare competed as an individual, turning in 71-72-143 to own 13th place with 18 holes left. His day was highlighted by an eagle on 530-yard 14th.
Caden Baker also played as an individual, shooting 78-73-151 for 43rd. He totaled five birdies and had a bogey-free front nine in the second round. He was 2-under on the front between the first and second rounds.
The Mastodons' 279-287-566 was good for second place behind Xavier's 562. The 'Dons are ahead of Horizon League foes Youngstown State (570), Northern Kentucky (587), Detroit Mercy (589) and IU Indy (591).
The final round of the Gateway Logistics Invitational will begin on Tuesday morning (Oct. 20).
