PRIMM, Nev. - The IUPUI men's golf team holds a 10-shot advantage over the rest of the field after day one of The Summit League Championships, being held at the par-71, 7,062 yard Primm Valley Golf Club Desert Course. The Jaguars turned in a school record 265 in the opening round before carding a 291 to sit at 556 through 36 holes.

Southern Utah and IPFW and tied for second at 566 while Oral Roberts is fourth at 572. Tuesday's final round is slated to begin at 10:30 a.m. Eastern (7:30 a.m. PDT).

IUPUI senior Ben Engle leads the field at 10-under 132 (62-70) including a school and Summit League Tournament record opening round 62. Classmate Michael Davan is second overall after a 7-under 135.

Engle carried the load from the outset, opening his tournament with three birdies in the first five holes. However, he closed the front nine in memorable fashion. On the par-5, 530-yard No. 7, Engle nearly made double eagle before settling for an easy eagle putt to move to 5-under. Two holes later, Engle aced the par-3, 222-yard No. 9 to close the front nine at 29. The Second Team All-Summit League performer dropped to 10-under after back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17 before finishing with a 9-under 62 after a bogey on No. 18. His 62 was eclipsed the IUPUI single-round record by three shots and was five strokes better than his previous best.

Davan carded a career-low 64 in the first round, including an eagle two on the par-4, 397-yard No. 14. The Summit League scoring average leader gave a shot back on No. 15 before making birdie on 16 and 18 to finish at 7-under.

All five Jaguars finished under par in the first round before windy conditions saw scores rise in the day's second round.  

Engle continued to lead the way in round two, including making back-to-back birdies on Nos. 13 and 14 to get to 2-under. After back-to-back bogeys brought him back to even par, Engle again capitalized on No. 7 with his second eagle on that hole on Monday. He finished his day with a bogey on No. 9 to cap round two at 1-under 70.

Sophomore Rob van de Vin is tied for 14th overall at 144 (70-74) while reigning Championship MVP Michael Powell is tied for 18th at 145 (69-76). Sophomore Jose Pablo Segurola capped the lineup at 146 (70-76).
