LORTON, Va. - The IUPUI men's golf team got off to a slow start on Saturday (Sept. 29) and never fully recovered on day one of the two-day CHAMPS/Patriot Intercollegiate, being played at the par-71 Laurel Hill Golf Club this weekend. The Jaguars shot an opening round 324 and sits at 627 after two rounds.
Play will conclude with an 8:30 start on Sunday.
Freshman
Bryce Very led the way for the Jaguars on day one, shooting 155 (79-76) in his first career collegiate rounds. Very sits tied for 55th place among the 81-player field heading into Sunday's final round.

Sophomore
