Uy Doan holds sole possession of first place after 36 holes at the Florida Atlantic Invitational, giving Stetson University Athletics Men’s Golf the individual leader heading into Tuesday’s final round. Doan is 10-under par after rounds of 66 and 68, with a one-stroke lead in the 66-player field. The tournament is being played at The Bear’s Club in Jupiter, Florida.
Doan, a sophomore transfer from Southern Utah, finished the opening two rounds with a birdie on the 503-yard, par-4 17th hole and an eagle on the 570-yard, par-5 18th. He entered the final two holes at 7-under par before chipping in from just off the green for the eagle on No. 18. Doan is from Hanoi, Vietnam.
Stetson enters final round in third place
Stetson University Athletics Men’s Golf stood in third place at 15-under par after 36 holes. The Hatters were three strokes behind co-leaders North Florida and host Florida Atlantic in the 11-team field. Parker Severs, competing as an individual for the University of Florida, and Danny Wehle of North Florida were one stroke behind Doan in the individual standings.
Thanattasorn Supinraj was tied for sixth at 5-under par after rounds of 72 and 67. Simon Engman was tied for 22nd at 2-under par after rounds of 70 and 72. Gabriel Lindahl and Federico Randazzo were tied for 44th at 4-over par, with Lindahl posting rounds of 75 and 73 and Randazzo recording rounds of 77 and 71.
Randazzo was competing in his first collegiate tournament and followed his opening-round 77 with a 1-under 71 in the second round. Jack Northgraves, competing as an individual, was tied for 50th at 5-over par after rounds of 74 and 75. His score was separate from Stetson’s team total.
Final round scheduled for Sept. 22
The 11-team field was scheduled to play the final round Tuesday, Sept. 22, at The Bear’s Club. The round was set for an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start on the 7,313-yard, par-72 layout. Stetson University Athletics Men’s Golf entered the round three strokes behind North Florida and Florida Atlantic.
Stetson University Athletics Men’s Golf is scheduled to return to competition Oct. 5-6 at the West Bay Collegiate at West Bay Club in Estero, Florida. That event follows the Florida Atlantic Invitational. Doan’s individual lead and Stetson’s position near the top of the team standings give the Hatters two standings to follow in the final round.
