COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Florida Gators men's golf team showed up ready to battle. They currently sit fourth on the leaderboard after the first round of the Robert Kepler Intercollegiate, hosted by Ohio State.
Due to weather, the 54-hole tournament has been shortened to 36 holes. The field was supposed to play 36 today and 18 tomorrow but only completed 18 today and will finish with 18 tomorrow.
The par 71 Scarlet Course at Ohio State is proving to be a tough one, as no team finished today's round under par. Leading the field is Michigan State, who carded a team score of 294 (+10). Florida sits 10 strokes back in fourth place with three players inside the top 25. There are only three players in the field of 78 that scored under par on the first 18 holes.
Sophomore John Axelsen leads the Gators at T14 with a first round score of 75 (+4). Sophomore Chris Nido and junior Blake Dyer are both close behind Axelsen, each carding a 76 in the opening round. After an eagle on his sixth hole of the day, his seventh eagle of the season, senior Gordon Neale finished the day T32 with a score of 77.
