LEXINGTON, Ky. - In his first time in the lineup this spring, Nick Bellush led the Purdue Fort Wayne men's golf team on the opening day (Monday, April 13) of the Bluegrass Collegiate Invitational.
The first day of the tournament was cut short due to a weather delay in the morning. The last few holes of round two and round three will be completed on Tuesday (April 14).
Bellush shot 73 in round one, turning in 12 pars and a pair of birdies. Those came on holes nine and 13, the latter of which kept him even on the back nine. In his second trip through the course, he birdied holes 11 and 16, then finished the day with a birdie on seven. He has two holes left to play. Bellush is in 11th place in the 92-player field.
Justin Hicks is in 43rd place with two holes left in round two. The end of the day came at a bad time for Hicks, as he was on fire over his last seven holes. The sophomore birdied hole one, parred the next two and birdied the fourth. After a bogey on five, he birdied six and seven to go 3-under in the seven-hole stretch. This came after starting his day with a birdie on hole 10. He is even in round two after shooting an 81 in the morning.
Brock Reschly also has two holes left and is in 64th place. He shot 76 in round one with birdies on seven and 16. He had a stretch of 12 holes from 11 to four. He also wrapped up his day with a birdie on hole six.
Julian Dugan has holes nine and 10 to play, finishing day one in 88th place. He shot 78 in round one with three birdies, including back-to-back on nine and 10. This came after parring the previous four holes for a 2-under six-hole stretch. He birdied hole seven in round two.
Nick Holder is in 91st place with just one hole left in round two. He shot 78 in round one with a birdie on hole 16. After a rough back nine, Holder strung together six pars in a row to end the day.
The Mastodons are in 14th place at 43-over. Kentucky is leading its own even at 3-under.
