Dixie State’s men’s golf team ended its first two rounds of the 2017-18 season in a two-way tie for seventh place at the Saint Martin’s Men’s Invitational on Friday at the Olympia Country and Golf Club.
The Trailblazers opened with a 13-over-par 297 on their first 18-hole loop before coming back with a 6-over 290 to finish day one tied with Montana State Billings (293-294) at +19 587. Western Washington (283-284) leads the 13-team field at 1-under 567 through 36 holes, six shots clear of second-place Simon Fraser (292-281-573, +5) and 10 strokes ahead of third-place Victoria (290-287-577, +9).
Sophomore Jayce Frampton (72-74-146, +4) and freshman Spencer Wallace (76-70-146, +4) are both tied for 19th individually after day one to pace the Trailblazers. Frampton fired a 1-over 72 in the first round, which was bested by Wallace in round two as he carded DSU’s low round of the day with a 1-under 70.
In addition, freshman Landon Anderson (76-72-148, +6) is tied for 27th place, followed by freshman senior Dane Nelson (78-74-152, +10) in t-46th place and freshman Brock Nielson (73-81-154, +12) in t-55th overall.
