 OWENS CROSSROADS, Ala. – Junior Michael Ikejiani finished with one of the lowest rounds in school history as the University of Evansville men’s golf team wrapped up the Alabama A&M Fall Invite on Tuesday at RTJ at Hampton Cove.
Ikejiani recorded a 5-under 67 in Tuesday’s second round. It was the 4th-lowest score in school history and just nine Purple Aces players have shot a lower round. His score vaulted him into a tie for 9th place in the tournament and was an 11-stroke improvement from round one. His score finished at 145. Playing for the purple team, Ikejiani helped his squad tie the UE orange team with a 2-round score of 593.
