Golf 14th After First Day at Firestone
4/20/2002
AKRON, Ohio ? Marshall shot rounds of 301 and 302 to finish in 14th place after day one at Firestone Country Club and the FirstEnergy Intercollegiate men?s golf tournament Saturday.
The Mid-American Conference, led by Miami and Toledo, took charge of the first round; but Big Ten teams Penn State and Iowa rallied during the second round to set up what should be an exciting finish tomorrow. Five teams are between 575 and 580 on the leader board: Penn State 575, Miami 576, Iowa 578, Toledo 579, and Kent State 580.
Miami?s Eric Phipps got hot on Firestone North Course (par 72) and carded a seven-under par 65 to lead the individual standings at 136, five strokes better than Penn State?s Andy Latowski at 141.
Marshall?s top individual performer thus far is Steve Sisson. The senior currently stands tied for 18th after rounds of 73 and 73.
