TUCSON, Ariz. – No. 23 Washington picked up right where they left off, beginning the spring season by leading the Arizona Intercollegiate after day one from the Casino Del Sol Resort. The Huskies won their final tournament of the fall at Gifford Collegiate and are in position to make it two-in-a-row with a good finish on Saturday.
The Dawgs completed play on Friday at 9-under, two shots better than No. 10 Texas for the lead. Play was suspended due to darkness with most teams through 14 to 17 holes of the second round. Washington fired an opening round of 7-under 277 to take a seven shot lead after round one.
Texas was 7-under when play was suspended during the second round to pull closer to the Dawgs who were 2-under in round two. Third place is occupied by No. 21 California, but they are well back at 3-over for the tournament.
Husky sophomore Frank Garber is tied for the individual lead with Beau Hossler of Texas at 8-under. Garber fired an opening round of 6-under 71 that included an eagle, five birdies and just one bogey. For the second round, he has made four more birdies and a double with four holes to play.
The Dawgs have two others near the top of the leaderboard as Jonathan Sanders is third at 3-under, while Carl Yuan is 2-under and tied for fourth. Sanders opened with a 2-under 69 and has his second round at 1-under with three holes to play. Yuan, the Husky freshman, also opened with a 2-under 69 and is even par for round two.
Jordan Lu is the final Husky and is tied for 18th at 4-over. Lu opened with a round of 4-over 71, but came back in round two to make five birdies to go with five bogeys and is even par through 15 holes.
The Huskies will complete the second round on Saturday morning, before competing in the final round and attempting to win for a second time this season.
