LBSU shot an opening round of 307 on Saturday morning at the Eisenhower Golf Club Blue Course and came back in the second round to improve by 10 shots to finish with a 297. Colorado State and UNLV are tied for first place with a 560.
Individually for the 49ers, newcomers Kevin Roy, Kevin Lim and Austin Love made their first collegiate tournament debut. Roy was the top player for The Beach as he finished tied for 46th and shot a 149 (76-73). Lim and Love are both tied in 68th with a 153. Ricky Montanez is one shot back.
