4/1/2017 11:10:00 PM | Men's Golf
BLOOMINGTON, Indiana – For the Indiana men's golf team, it was a tale of two rounds on Saturday at the Hoosier Invitational at the IU Golf Course. In round one, the Hoosiers posted a team score of 282 (-2) and were in third place just four shots behind the leaders.
But a second round score of 293 moved them down to fourth place, but they are now 19 shots behind tournament leader Charlotte heading into Sunday's final round. The Hoosiers are 7-over par as a team with a score of 575.
The highlight of round one came from freshman Brock Ochsenreiter, who matched his season-best round with a 4-under 67. His round featured four birdies and zero bogeys, as he capped his 3-under front nine with birdies on holes eight and nine. Round two was not as kind to the freshman, as he closed with a 76 and is tied for 17th at 1-over par for the tournament.
Redshirt sophomore Jake Brown is also tied for 17th at 1-over par after rounds of 72 and 71 on Saturday. Senior Andrew Havill is one shot behind him at 2-over par and in a tie for 22nd.
Jack Sparrow carded back-to-back rounds of 2-over par 73 and is 4-over and finds himself tied for 37th. Rounding out the team lineup is Brendon Doyle, who used rounds of 72 and 79 to sit in a tie for 58th at 9-over par.
Indiana has four students competing as individuals and they are led by Christian Fairbanks, who joins Havill at 2-over par and a tie for 22nd after posting a career-best round of 69 in the first round then following it up with a 75 in round two.
Sophomore Trevor Ranton trimmed three shots of his career-best round with a 69 in his opening round and then logged a 76 in round two to finish at 3-over through 36 holes and a tie for 30th.
Senior Keegan Vea used consistency to also tie for 30th at 3-over par with scores of 73 and 72 while Will Seger is in 78th place following scores of 83 and 76 on Saturday.
Indiana will tee off in round three at 9:00 a.m. ET with live scoring available on GolfStat.com.
