The Bulldogs enter Tuesday's final round of the Purdue Fall Invitational in fourth place but only a single stroke out of second.
 
The two-day event in West Lafayette, Ind., concludes with a final 18 holes Tuesday.
 
Butler's morning round of two-under 286 trailed only host Purdue (282) after the opening session. The Bulldogs followed that with a four-over 292 in the afternoon as their Monday total of 578 (+2) has them just a single shot behind Oakland and Southern Illinois, who are tied for second at 577. Butler is two shots ahead of fifth-place Nebraska; there are 15 teams in the field.
 
The Boilermakers own the tournament lead at 558 (-18). Purdue's Supapon Amornchaichan holds the 36-hole top spot at eight-under 136. His teammate Kentaro Nanayama (138; -6) is tied for second individually.
 
Both Leo Zurovac and Derek Tabor carded one-under 71s in their respective afternoon rounds on the 7,465-yard Kampen-Cosler Golf Course. Zurovac had an eagle-3 on the 607-yard tenth hole to go along with three birdies in his round. Tabor had four birdies.
 
Marius Reiersen and Logan Sutto led the Bulldogs in the morning round, each shooting a two-under 70. Sutto's card featured five birdies in the first round, while Reiersen, Zurovac and Tabor each had four circles on their card.
 
Zurovac is tied for tenth at one-under 143; Reiersen is also among the Top 20, currently tied for 17^th (one-over 145).
 
Butler has posted Top-2 finishes in each of their three events this fall, taking team titles at both the season-opening Golden Grizzlies Intercollegiate and the Virtues Intercollegiate in their last outing.
 
Purdue is simultaneously hosting an individual tournament on their Ackerman-Allen Golf Course. The 36-hole event has a final 18 scheduled for Tuesday. Butler's Will Horne and Johnny Creamean are tied for second after even-par rounds of 71 Monday.
