HAMILTON, N.Y. – Jack Hartman and Taylor Kuehn are both in red numbers, and the Bucknell men’s golf team is tied for third place late in the second round at the season-opening Alex Lagowitz Memorial, hosted by Colgate at Seven Oaks GC. Play was suspended due to darkness and will resume on Sunday morning, followed by the third and final round.
It was a strong start for the Bison, who opened the campaign with a 2-under-par 286 team score in the first round on Saturday morning. Bucknell was 1-over in the second round, and at 1-under for the tournament is tied for third place with Saint Joseph’s. Seton Hall is 10-under in round two and 6-under overall, and the Pirates have a three-stroke lead over second-place Lehigh. Bucknell is eight shots ahead of fifth-place Villanova.
