PORTLAND, Ore. -- Junior Evan Katz carded a bogey-free, three-under 68 to pace the Duke men's golf team in the opening round of the Nike Collegiate Invitational Sunday at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in Portland, Ore.
Katz is three off the individual lead held by Oklahoma's Logan McAllister through 18 holes, with junior teammate Adrien Pendaries one stroke back thanks to his two-under 68. Katz's blemish-free round was one of just three in the field on Sunday in wet and cool conditions.
"I knew today was going to be mentally challenging just because the weather is so different from what we've been used to," said Katz.
