MUNCIE, Ind. - The IU Indianapolis men's golf team carded rounds of 288 and 290 on Saturday (Sept. 26) and is tied for ninth of 16 teams competing at this weekend's Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational at Delaware Country Club. 

Keaton Parmley led the way in round one with a 5-under 65, making six birdies against just one bogey in the morning 18.

"I got off to a good start just following the game plan and being disciplined," Parmley said. "I hit it great and that led to a lot of short birdie looks that I was able to knock down. Round two just came down to a few bad club choices and some putts not falling in. Overall, I feel good about the spot my game is in."

Senior Brady Schier paced the Jaguars at 1-over 71 in the second round, buoyed by an ace on the 177-yard, No. 16. 

"It was a back right pin and I had a good number. I had been playing not great all day but had just come off a birdie and was feeling good and got a little more aggressive with my line," Schier said. "I made a good swing and didn't expect it to get all the way to the pin, but I couldn't see it land from the tee and just heard cheering, so I knew it went in. 

"It really turned around my momentum for the rest of the round so I could help the team out."

After scorching the course at this event last season, senior Titus Boswell shot 2-over 72 in both rounds on Saturday while Schier shot 5-over 75 in the morning. Sophomore Jack Scudder capped the scorers with a 6-over 76 in round one while Greg Miller led the individual entries with a 3-over 73. 

Behind Schier and Boswell, Scudder shot 3-over 73 in round two and freshman Tommy Klinker shot 4-over 74. Parmley followed up his 65 with a second round 76, leaving him at 1-over 141 for the day, tied for 14th among 96 players. 

Freshman Nathan Springer shot 5-over 75 in the afternoon after carding 76 in the morning. 

Boswell ended day one tied atop the field with 27 pars.

Butler leads the field at 555 while host Ball State is second at 557. Ball State's Luke Johnston is atop the leaderboard at 5-under 135 heading into Sunday's finale. The final round on Sunday is slated to begin at 9:00 a.m.
