INDIANAPOLIS - With 18 holes remaining, the fifth-ranked Illinois Wesleyan University men's golf team has four inside the top-10 individually and two teams inside the top-five at the Wabash College Fall Invitational at Broadmoor Country Club. The IWU "A" team used a strong second round to climb into second place at eight-under 568, while the "B" team is fifth at 576.
Playing in a field that includes four of the top-six nationally ranked teams, Illinois Wesleyan put its depth on full display. No. 3 Emory, the lone team to go under par in both rounds, holds a five-stroke lead at 563. IWU, No. 6 Carnegie Mellon (569), and second-ranked Kenyon (571) sit ahead of the Titan "B" team's even-par 576. Emory's Kevin Mu leads the player standings at 14-under (130).
The Green and White have four in the top-10 and eight in the top-20 of the 90-player field. Junior Pablo Castro (Palatine, Ill.-Palatine) fired back-to-back below-par rounds to sit tied for third at five-under. Castro went two-under at the par-72, 6,904-yard course before turning in a three-under in round two. Sophomore Ben Gelven (St. Louis, Mo.-Mary Institute and Country Day School) holds a share of sixth at three-under, including an eagle on No. 18 in his penultimate hole of the day. Freshman Sam Uutala (Barrington, Ill.-Barrington), the only Titan other than Castro to go below par in each round, carded back-to-back 70s. He sits tied for ninth alongside sophomore Alex Rollman (Cincinnati, Ohio-Turpin).
The final round of the 54-hole tournament is scheduled for tomorrow, Oct. 6. Live scoring will be available via Clippd, while results will be posted to iwusports.com following the round.
