Butler sophomore Patrick Allgeier made a strong jump up the leaderboard Monday at the 2018 BIG EAST Men's Golf Championship. Allgeier's four-under 68 moved him into the thick of the individual chase, just one shot off the lead with only Tuesday's 18 holes remaining in the tournament.

Allgeier's round Monday was three shots better than anyone else in the field. He got out of the gates quickly with a birdie on No. 2 followed by an eagle on the 548-yard par-5 third. Allgeier played the back nine in one-under 35 with a birdie and eight pars. For the round, he had an eagle, four birdies, and two bogeys.
