LEWISTON, Idaho – Lewis-Clark State College senior Devon Caruso blistered the Lewiston Golf & Country Club course with a personal best 65 in the second round to help the Warriors to the first day lead at the Warrior Invitational on Monday.
After shooting a 1-under-par 71 during the opening 18 holes on Monday morning, Caruso came out firing on the second 18 and put up 10 birdies on his way to the best round of the day in the Cascade Collegiate Conference tournament. His 136 total leaves him 8-under-par for the tournament entering Tuesday’s final 18 holes.
What made Caruso’s round so impressive is he played the final eight holes in howling strong winds. Caruso’s previous low round was a 68, also shot at the LG&CC.
Caruso’s play helped the Warrior men grab a four-stroke lead over British Columbia, which is ranked No. 15 in the NAIA Top 25 preseason poll. The Warriors shot a 573 for the 36 holes, while UBC is at 577.
UBC’s Russell Hewlett and Oregon Tech’s Preston Luckman are tied for second among the counting CCC scores at 1-under-par 143.
Tuesday’s final 18 holes is scheduled to have a shotgun start at 8 a.m.
