INDIANAPOLIS – On a day where chilly conditions and gusty winds were present throughout 36 holes of play, Bellarmine University and the University of Indianapolis sit tied for the lead at the 2018 Great Lakes Valley Conference Men’s Golf Championships, which are being held April 22-24. The Knights (298-301) and Greyhounds (292-307) each fired a 23-over-par total of 599 over the 7,003-yard, par-72 Prairie View Golf Club layout in Carmel, Indiana.
Bellarmine, Indianapolis, and Maryville University were the lone squads to break 300 for a round, with the Greyhounds garnering the low round of the day with 292.
Maryville enters Monday’s 18-hole round in third place at 601 (302-299), while the University of Missouri-St. Louis (304-305) is fourth with 609. Perhaps the team story of the day belongs to first-year program Missouri S&T, which entered the tournament ranked as the 13th-best GLVC team in the Golfstat Midwest Region Rankings. The Miners (302-314) recorded a fifth-place score of 616, good for a two-stroke advantage over Lewis University (308-310) at 42-over 618.
The University of Illinois Springfield is in seventh (311-308—619), Drury University (310-310-620) owns eighth, and William Jewell College (316-306—622) follows in ninth. Rounding out the field is Rockhurst University (308-315—623), McKendree University (311-315—626), University of Southern Indiana (323-314—637) and Quincy University (339-325—664).
Maryville junior Joey Williams is the lone competitor under par after 36 holes, having opened with a 2-under 70 and concluded the night with a 1-over 73. His 1-under total of 143 is four shots better than Bellarmine’s Lucas Jones (70-77—147). Graham McAree, the 2016 GLVC Champion, sits third with a total of 4-over 148 (72-76).
Missouri S&T is represented in fourth by Lenny Urbas (72-77—149), while teammate Mike Finnegan (73-77-150) is tied for fifth with seven other individuals.
Action will resume Monday with the third round, which tees off at 8 a.m. ET. Results of the third round will determine this year’s medalist and top-five All-GLVC honorees based on placement.
At the end of 54 holes, the top four teams will advance to medal/match play action to vie for the GLVC title on Tuesday.
