OKATIE, S.C.- The Ave Maria University men's golf team completed the first two rounds of the Sand Shark Invitational on Monday, played at the Oldfield Golf Club and hosted by the University of South Carolina Beaufort. The Gyrenes shot a team score of 333 in the first round, and improved by 19 strokes in the second round to cap a 36-hole day.

Four of the five Gyrenes that teed off on Monday had a better score in the second round than the first, and no player in the field from any school went under par in the opening 18 holes. Brad Wonka led Ave Maria with a 36-hole score of 156, including a team-best 74 in the second round. James Byron was the only other Gyrenes to break 80 on the day, following up a first round 84 with a 76. Jonah Manning (161), Roch Aubert (173), and Nicholas Dicioccio (175) rounded out the Ave contingent.

Coastal Georgia and Dalton State tied atop the leaderboard at 3-over par. Third place Point University shot the best team round of the day with a 280 in the second round, and finished eight shots back of the leaders. Individually, eight players were within two shots of the lead held by Dalton State's Ben Rebne, who carded a 72 and a 70 on the day to post a 2-under par score.

The final round, which was scheduled for Tuesday, was cancelled due to unplayable conditions at Oldfield. The results after 36 holes are final.
