Pioneers in second at Buccaneer Spring Invitational

MEMPHIS --- The Tusculum University men's golf team is currently in second place at the Buccaneer Spring Classic. The two-day, 54-hole event is being held at the par-72, 6,787-yard Irene Golf and Country Club and hosted by Christian Brothers University.

The Pioneers were tied for third place after Monday's opening round 311, but Tusculum has made a second round move up the leaderboard and is seven-over as a team before play was suspended due to darkness. The second round will be completed on Tuesday, followed by the final 18 holes to wrap up the tournament.

Christian Brothers has the lead by 16 shots over the Pioneers as the Buccaneers are currently at +14. Tusculum is second with +30, along with William Jewell (+28). Miles is fourth (+35) followed by McKendree (+37), Rhodes (+43), Union, Tenn. (+48), Mississippi College (+56) and Wisconsin-Parkside (+75).

Nicholas Marchese is in sole possession of sixth place at +4 and is three shots behind tournament leader Daniel Maybee of Christian Brothers at +1. Marchese opened with a 76, but is even in his second round through 14 holes.

TU's Dominic Holden and Kyle Engelbert are tied for 17th place at +9. Holden carded a 79 in the first round but is two-over through 11 holes in his second round. Kyle Engelbert opened with a 74 in his first 18 and is +5 through 12 holes in his second round.

Bennett Noe is tied for 28th place with +13 including an opening round 80 and is +5 with four holes remaining in his second round.

Liam van Deventer is also tied for 28th. He shot 85 in Monday's opening session, but is even par for his second round through 12.
