Men's Golf Tied for Louisiana Classics Lead

Men's Golf Tied for Louisiana Classics Lead

After opening the 25th-annual Louisiana Classics with a modest 7-over par round of 295 in the first round, the LSU men's golf team fired its second-lowest round of the season and the lowest round of the day at 11-under 277 in the second round to conclude Monday's action at Oakbourne Country Club in a three-way tie for first place in the team standings.

The Tigers fired a 36-hole score of 4-under 572 to finish the first day of competition in a tie for first place with Illinois and Tulsa. Southeastern Louisiana finished in a distant fourth place overall at 4-over 580.

LSU's 11-under par round of 277 is its second-lowest in relation to par this season, just one shot shy of its best team score of 13-under 275 recorded in the first round of the Gary Koch Invitational on Oct. 3.

It is also six strokes better than the second-lowest round of the Louisiana Classics thus far as Tulsa posted a team score of 5-under par 283 in Monday's second round. more
