CSUN Third After Two Rounds of Cullum Invitational

LIVE SCORING

SOMIS, Calif. - Seeking its third Bill Cullum Invitational title in the last four years, the CSUN men's golf team carded rounds of 303-300 and is in third place after 36 holes of the tournament Monday at The Saticoy Club.

The Matadors (603) will open Tuesday's final round 10 shots back of team-leading Weber State (593) and just a single shot behind second-place UC Riverside (602). Stanislaus State (609) is fourth followed by Southern Utah (623) and Cal State San Marcos (636).

CSUN's Liam Judkins and Domenic De Luca are among three players tied for ninth at 5-over 149 to lead the Matadors. The pair opens the final round on Tuesday seven shots off the pace.

Only two players in the 50-player field are under par through 36 holes as Pepperdine's Byungho Lee sits at 2-under 142 and teammate Joshua Koo is second at 1-under 143. UC Riverside's Stephen Luo and Hartej Grewal, along with Weber State's Matthew Wilson, are at even-par 144 which is good for a third-place tie.

De Luca had three birdies on Monday, finishing round one at 1-over 73 before posting a 4-over 76 in round two.

ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JIM BRACKEN
"It's not like we have a home course advantage here, but we have played here a few times in the last couple of weeks. I expected us to post better scores than we did today but hopefully we'll stick to our game plan and play smart golf tomorrow and make a charge up the leaderboard."

The Matadors will be paired with Weber State, UC Riverside, and Stanislaus State for the final round which gets underway Tuesday morning at 8 a.m.
