Day 1 Results

The Bulldogs stand in second place after the opening day of the Butler Spring Invitational.
 
Cold temperatures pushed Monday's start time back and condensed play to a single round as opposed to the planned 36. The teams will return to action for a final 18 Tuesday.
 
Four players in Butler's line-up are among the Top 25 after the first round. There are 98 players in the field. The Bulldogs shot a six-over score of 286 Monday, putting them seven shots behind 18-hole leader Valparaiso (279, -1). Butler is four shots clear of Youngstown State and Green Bay, who are tied for third. There are a total of 12 teams in the field.
 
Raymond Sullivan led the way for Butler with a Monday 70, which is even par for the 6,551-yard Highland course. Sullivan had 16 pars to go along with a birdie on his round. He is tied for eighth.
 
Valparaiso's Anthony Delisanti and Luke Armbrust of Illinois hold the lead after rounds of 68 (-2).
 
Daniel Tanaka, carding three birdies as part of his round, shot a one-over 71 and is tied for 11th. Damon Dickey is tied for 18th at two-over 72. Henry Quinn is one shot behind him after an opening-round 73 (+3) and is tied for 25th.
 
Weston Guili is tied for 38th at four-over 74.
 
Butler's individuals are led by Nick Williams, who is part of the group tied for 18th alongside Dickey after posting a 72. Williams had three birdies on the round. Michael Tanaka is tied for 54th at five-over 75, one shot ahead of Daivic Akala and Jack Wilcox (76), who are tied for 67th. Stephen Kocerha shot 78 Monday and is tied for 86th.
 
Tuesday's shotgun start has been pushed back to 11 a.m. due to cooler temperatures in the forecast overnight. Live Scoring will be available via GolfStat.
