AUSTIN, Texas - The No. 8 UNLV men's golf team shot an even-par 288 during the opening round of the 41st annual Morris Williams Intercollegiate Monday at the par 72, 6,906-yard Austin Country Club and is in third place, three shots back of team-leading Kent State.
Kent State shot an opening-round 3-under 285 and leads the field by two shots. Texas A&M is second at 1-under, while UNLV is third at even-par and is followed by Oklahoma at 3-over and TCU at 4-over.
The 14-team field was scheduled to play two rounds (36 holes) on Monday, but rainy conditions suspended play less than halfway into the second round.
The tournament has been shortened from 54 holes to 36 because of the persistent inclement weather and the potential of continued unsettled weather on Tuesday.
A full second round of 18 holes will begin Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. CT, and Monday's second-round scores will not count toward team or individual totals. Tuesday's second round will also serve as the tournament's final round.
Kent State's David Ludlow leads all individuals after shooting an opening-round 6-under 66. Purdue's Vince Nadeau is second at 4-under, while UNLV was led by Seung-Su Han, who is in a four-way tie for third place at 2-under 70.
Jarred Texter and C.J. Gatto are both in the top 10 for UNLV as well, as the pair each shot an even-par 72 during the first round and are tied for ninth along with eight other golfers.
