GOLETA, Calif. - Behind Nick Fowlkes and Paul-Louis Gachet, the CSUN men's golf team held the team lead after 18 holes Monday at the UC Santa Barbara Collegiate at Sandpiper G.C. The opening round was delayed prior to the start by foggy conditions which also crept back in the afternoon and suspended the second round.
With a team round of 285 in the morning, the Matadors led by seven shots over Utah Valley (292) heading into the afternoon round. CSUN is nearing the halfway the point of round two and is currently 10-over in the round.Â
Â
Individually, Nick Fowlkes led CSUN through 18 holes after firing a season-low 6-under 66. Fowlkes began the day on the No. 10 tee and was 3-under after an eagle at No. 15. He remained 3-under over his next five holes before a string of three straight birdies dropped him to 6-under where he would remain at the conclusion of the round.

COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"We played really well this morning and it helps when Nick (Fowlkes) shoots 6-under. He could have gone even lower but missed a few birdie putts. We aren't playing as well in the second round but hopefully we can pick up where we left off after round one and finish strong tomorrow."
All teams will complete their final holes in the second round on Tuesday which will be the final round of the weather-shortened 36-hole tournament.
