Men's Golf Climbs to 5th; Play Suspended in Minnesota

INDEPENDENCE, Minn. – The Charlotte 49ers men's golf team has climbed up the leaderboard six spots to sit in a two-way tie for fifth at the end of day one in the 2017 Gopher Invitational. Second round play was suspended due to darkness with all teams about halfway through their final nine.

Conor Purcell led the Niners during the opening 18 with a two-under round of 69 beginning with three birdies over his first four holes. After a bogey on nine, his fifth hole of the day in the shotgun start, another birdie on 11 and one more on 16 helped him erase that one and the bogey on 12 to sit at three-under.
