MADISON, Miss. – Philipp Westermann and
Baptiste Courtachon each fired a 2-under-par 70 and the Southeastern Louisiana University golf team recorded a team round of 284 to finish in fifth-place after the first round of the fifth annual BancorpSouth Intercollegiate at Reunion Golf and Country Club.
Thunderstorms in the area forced the tournament to be suspended midway through the second round, forcing officials to shorten the tournament to 36 holes. Final round action will begin on Tuesday at 10 a.m. Live statistics, courtesy of GolfStat.com, are available at www.LionSports.net.
Starting on the back nine, Westermann birdied two of his first five holes and three of his first 10 before recording bogeys at No. 2 and 10. The junior capped off his round with a birdie at No. 9 and was 2-under in the second round before play was suspended.
Courtachon, a late replacement to the lineup for Southeastern, was 1-over on the back nine but sizzled on the front as he recorded birdies at No. 1, 4, 6 and 8.
