VERO BEACH, Fla. – After the first two rounds of the Quail Valley Collegiate Invitational, the Indiana men's golf team is in 12^th place after rounds of 299 and 296 on Monday at Quail Valley Golf Club.

The top individual performer for the Hoosiers was redshirt freshman Jake Brown, who posted a pair of Even par rounds of 72 and is tied for 18^th individually. He started his first round at 2-under par after three holes and moved all the way to 4-under par after nine holes. But on his 10^th hole – the 3^rd hole on the course – he ran into problems and carded a double bogey. He would go on to register two more bogey on his round to fall back to even par. In round two, he once again got to 2-under par after nine holes, but the third hole saw him post another double bogey to bring him back to even par for the round.

Senior Max Kollin had a rocky start to his day, posting a 77 in his first round. But he steadied himself in round two and came back with four birdies and four bogeys to finish with a 72 and a total score of 149, which puts him in a tie for 43^rd.

Andrew Havill and Keegan Vea both finished the first day at Quail Valley with two round totals of 151 (+7). Havill opened with a 74 in his first round, as he recorded five birdies in the round but a string of four bogeys in the middle of his round combined with a double bogey near the end off set those birdies. In round two, he carded three double bogeys on his way to a 77. For Vea, he was more consistent on the day and saw one hole in each round thwart his chances of being closer to par. In round one, he was 1-under par going to his 14^th hole, but a double bogey was the beginning of him playing the final five holes in 5-over par. In round two, it was a triple bogey on his eighth hole that negated the trio of birdie he posted on his way to a 75.

Sophomore Brendon Doyle also allowed big numbers on individual holes to throw both of his rounds off track on Monday. His opening round of 77 followed by a 78 in round two give him a total score of 155 and a tie for 67^th.

The final round of the tournament gets underway on Tuesday at Quail Valley Golf Club, with live scoring provided by BirdieFire.com.
