Men’s Golf Looking Great at CSUSM Invitational; Tied for 3rd After Round One
2/11/08

Playing on the familiar fairways of San Luis Rey Downs, the Cal State San Marcos men’s golf team looked very good on Monday, and sit tied for third after one round. All-American Scott Conway is tied for second in the individual competition.

The three-round tournament, hosted by CSUSM, is played on San Luis Rey Downs par-72, 6,750 yard course. Two rounds were scheduled to be played on Monday; but darkness suspended the finish of the second round until Tuesday morning.

Fresno State leads the large field of 20 teams with a total score of 294. They’re followed closely by Cal State East Bay at 297. CSUSM and Point Loma are tied for third at 300. The University of La Verne rounds out the top-5, with a score of 303.

Conway, the Cougars’ #1 golfer, shot 38 going out – but a scorching-hot 33 on the back-nine put him within one shot of the lead. His -1 (71) is tied with CSU-East Bay’s Bobby Bucey, and a shot behind Fresno State’s Grant Doverspike.

Just behind them is another Cougar, Brandon Gandy. Gandy looked great on Monday, shooting even-par 72, good for a tie for fourth.

Also competing for CSUSM were Shezad Lakdawala (78), Kevin Riley (79), and Chris Vascellaro (86). Kyle Kelch competed as an individual and shot 81.

The tournament will conclude tomorrow with the final two rounds of play.
