Brentt Salas is tied for 81st at 151 (+7), while Charlie Magruder is tied for 88th at 152 (+8).

Second round play was halted for some of the teams due to darkness.

Gonzaga Head Coach Robert Gray …

We played decently the first round, posting our third lowest round of the season with an even par, 288. The greens were a little firm in the morning but definitely got firmer in the afternoon. Despite the firmer greens in the second round, the top half of the field was only one shot higher than the top half of the field of the first round.

Our second round was a 180 from the first. We posted our highest round of the year by eight shots with a 316. The course didn't play much harder based on the field scores but we really struggled with ball striking and short game.

Another round tomorrow to finish up the way we started the day.
