AKRON, Ohio — Sophomore Blake Smith fired the best round of his college career Monday, leading the WKU men’s golf team through the first two rounds at Akron’s Firestone Invitational.

Smith carded a 6-under 66 – including seven birdies – in the first round at the par-72, 7,125-yard Firestone Country Club-North Course. It bested his previous low round of 67 last season at the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate.

Smith followed it up with a 3-over 75 in the second round, tying him for 12th place individually with a two-round total of 141, which is also the lowest 36-hole tally of his career.
