1st and 2nd Round Results

STATESBORO, Ga. – Georgia Southern's Jake Storey fired 67-67 in the first two rounds of the Georgia Southern Individual Collegiate Monday at GSU Golf Course. 

The junior leads the tournament by four strokes heading into Tuesday's third and final round. Storey (-10) is ahead of Phillip Hickam (-6) of Chattanooga in second, and Priyanshu Singh (-3) of South Florida is in third. Nine Georgia Southern players are competing in the tournament, and seven Eagles are in the top-16 of the 44-man field.

Brett Barron (-2) is tied for fourth after shooting 72-70, and Cody O'Toole (E) is tied for eighth after posting a 74-70. Archer Price (70-75, +1) is 11th, Crawford Simmons (73-74, +3) and Luukas Alakulppi (73-74, +3) are tied for 14th and Steven Fisk (73-75, +4) is 16th. Jonas Vaisanen (+7) shot 75-76, and Alexander DeRosa (+11) carded 79-76.

"It's always great to play a home tournament, especially with this being the first collegiate event at the GS University Golf Course," said Georgia Southern coach Carter Collins.  "The course is in great condition and has proven to be a tough test for the field.  We have seven of the top-16 players through two rounds, including Jake who has shot 10-under and is leading.  We have gotten better on this course throughout the year and it's good for them to continue this improvement in tournament conditions and gain valuable experience."

The third round is slated for a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
