MIDDLETOWN, R.I. - Inclement weather forecast for this weekend in Rhode Island forced the addition of nine holes at today's opening of the Atlantic 10 men's golf championships.
Richmond was second after a first-round 299, led by senior Steven Sherck who was tied for fourth after shooting an even-par 72 at the Newport National Golf Course. After nine holes of the second round, the Spiders slipped to fourth with a 27-hole total of 454. Richmond is just two strokes behind second-place George Washington, but trails the leader, Xavier, by 27 strokes.
Following his first-round 72, Sherck carded a 38 on the front nine of the second round. Freshman Jordan Utley followed a first-round 74 with a 39 on the next nine. Junior Tyler Randol also shot 39 on the front after shooting a 78 in the first round.
Freshman Chris Bagley fired a 76 in the first round and started with a 40 in the second round. Sophomore John Pelet carded a 77 on the first 18 and started the second round with a 38.
The Atlantic 10 will attempt to resume play at 8 a.m. on Saturday.
