Sophomore Alex del Rey is in contention for his first individual title at the Gopher Invitational held at Windsong Farm Golf Club (par-71/7,368 yards) in Independence, Minn.
Second-year head coach Matt Thurmond's lineup has sophomores Chun An Yu, Alex del Rey and Blake Wagoner along with freshmen Mason Andersen and Paul Chaplet. Eight teams that competed in the 2017 NCAA Championships are part of the 16-team field, including defending NCAA champion Oklahoma.
Play was suspended at 7:30 p.m. due to darkness on the 36-hole first day Sunday, but del Rey finished both rounds with a 4-under 138, which is one shot off the lead held by Ian Holt of Kent State.
