One of the best two-round performances of Western Kentucky golfer Stuart Easton’s college career has the junior in third place after the first day of action at Wyoming’s Southern Dunes Invitational.
Easton, a native of Ayrshire, Scotland, fired a 5-under total of 139 (70-69) over Saturday’s first two rounds at the par-72, 7,546-yard Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club in Maricopa, Ariz.
The second-round 69 tied Easton’s career low, which he most recently reached in WKU’s last outing at the Memphis Intercollegiate. It was one shot off his previous 36-hole best. Easton is chasing his second straight top-five performance after tying for fifth in Memphis.
