Jones Goes Low, Men’s Golf Near Lead at Musketeer Classic

CINCINNATI -- Ball State men's golfer CJ Jones celebrated his birthday Monday morning with four birdies, two eagles and an opening-round 65 at Xavier's Musketeer Classic.

Jones' 6-under-par score matched the lowest by a Ball State golfer since 2009 and highlighted a long day that saw a frost delay at the start and a suspension for darkness at the end.

Ball State was in second place as a team, trailing only Ohio State, when play was halted late in the second of Monday's two rounds. That round will be completed Tuesday morning before the start of the final 18 holes at Maketewah Country Club.
