Box Score

DURHAM, N.C. - The UNLV golf team sits in ninth place at The Preview By Ping and Golfweek as second-round play was suspended due to inclement weather at the Duke University Golf Club on Monday.

The Rebels finished first-round play in fifth place with a five-over par team round and just six strokes behind Georgia. However, with six holes of the second round completed, UNLV slipped to 13-over for the tourney and ninth place in the team standings. At one-over par, Georgia still leads the team competition with a three-stroke edge over Texas.

Individually, freshman James Oh (Lakewood, Calif.) fired a three-under par 69 in the first round and was in third place, two shots behind Auburn's Kevin Haefner. Two bogies in Round 2 dropped him to one-under and a tie for sixth place.

Senior Scott Lander (Kingman, Ariz.) finished the opening round at three-over and is even through seven holes in the second round and tied for 29th. Sophomore Calvin Kupeyan (Tecumseh, ONT) trails Lander by a stroke and is tied for 36th overall.

Sophomores Robert Sul (Torrance, Calif./North) and Brien Davis (Portland, Ore./Central Catholic) both finished the first round at three-over, but struggled as the weather turned bad during the second round. Sul sits seven-over par and Davis follows at eight-over.

The tournament has been shortened to 36 holes with play scheduled to resume at 11:00 a.m. EDT on Tuesday.
