BLUFFTON, S.C. – Brett Barron shot 70-71=141 to lead the Georgia Southern men's golf team into a tie for seventh after the first two rounds of the Colleton River Collegiate Monday at the Colleton River Pete Dye Course.
Barron led the Eagles with nine birdies on the day and rolled in six on his way to shooting a 2-under 70 in the first round. The junior played an impressive bogey-free round in the afternoon and made birdie on the 414-yard, par-4 10th to shoot a 71.
Barron is tied for sixth with two others at 3-under, five shots off the leader, Donnie Trosper, of tournament host Michigan State. Georgia Southern is tied for seventh with Rutgers, four strokes behind Kansas State in fifth.
Mason Williams rolled in a team-high three birdies in the afternoon round and played his final four holes 1-under to shoot 71, and the freshman is tied for 24th. Jake Maples, who is playing as an individual this week, shot a 71 in the first round and is also tied for 24th.

Quotable from Coach Carter Collins
"I'm proud of how this team prepared for this course, one of the toughest we play all year and a course we are seeing for the first time."
"Ball-striking wise, it was the most complete day we have played all year. Our putts didn't drop today like we are used to, but we are building towards something special in the near future. I can't wait to see what's around the corner."
