Detroit Golfers Remain 25th At NCAA West Regional

May 19, 2007

The University of Detroit Mercy men's golfers remained in 25th place at the NCAA West Regional on Friday as they matched their opening-day score of 297.


Like Thursday, the Titans started quickly and played their first six holes in three under par as a team. However, they were not able to maintain that momentum in order to climb up the standings. They are now nine shots behind 50th-ranked San Diego State University, which stands 24th, and they're three ahead of Northeast Conference champion Monmouth University, the 26th-place team after 36 holes.


UDM freshman David Byrne - who was the Horizon League individual medalist in leading Detroit to the 2007 conference championship - paced the Titans Friday with a two-under-par round of 70 on Arizona State University's 7,057-yard Karsten Golf Course. Byrne has a two-day total of one-over 145.


Detroit will begin final-round play on Saturday at 3:29 p.m. EDT. Golfstat will provide live scoring of the West Regional's third round.
