One round left on Tuesday

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Rick Voyvodic shot a 1-over 73 to lead the University of Evansville men’s golf team in a rain-shortened opening day of the Big Blue Invitational at Hermitage Golf Club.

Originally scheduled for two rounds on Monday, rain and heavy wind halted play following one round.  The tournament will now be two full rounds with Tuesday’s final trip of 18 set for an 8 a.m. start time.

Voyvodic’s efforts have him tied for seventh place overall, just one stroke away from moving into the top five.  A crowded top of the leaderboard has Wil Pahud checking in with a round of 74.  That has him in a tie for 17th.

Tyler Gray and Will Knights posted rounds of 75, just three over par.  They are tied for 21st.  Austin Carmack finished the day with a 96.  Noah Reese posted an 81 on Monday while Jon Pick carded an 82.  Reese and Pick played as individuals.

Belmont leads the way on the team side as they finished Monday with a 292.  They are three ahead of Tennessee State and four in front of 3rd place Murray State.  Evansville ranks tied for fourth place with a 297, just five off the lead.

Ashton Van Horne had the best day among the individuals.  A 5-under 67 has the Belmont player two in front of the pack going into the final 18.
