GOLF | Peterson in Third After Two Rounds at Nick Watney
FRESNO, Calif. — Saint Mary's had a stellar start to the Nick Watney Invitational with both of their competing individuals finishing in the top-third of the leaderboard.
Evan Peterson led the charge for the Gaels and finished the day tied for third out of the 92-competitor field. After a stellar 5-under first round, Peterson kept the momentum by shooting 3-under in the middle round for an 8-under total.
The redshirt senior only had one bogey on the day and cleaned up on par 5's with a tournament-best 5-under score on those holes. Heading into the final day, Peterson trails only Hunter Epson of Long Beach State (10-under) and BYU's Peter Kuest (9-under) for medalist honors.
