VERONA, N.Y. - The Missouri men's golf team stands in first place at the season-opening Turning Stone Tiger Intercollegiate in Verona, N.Y. and hold a nine-shot lead over second place. The event is hosted by the Tigers and is the first of the 2009-2010 season.
Mizzou carded a 295 in first round on Sunday before turning in a 302 in round two for a 36-hole total of 597. Richmond is in second place with a 606 score, followed by Oakland University's 609.
Newcomer Stuart Ballingall wasted little time making an impact for the Tigers, as the freshman shot an opening round 69 and stood in a tie for first place in the individual standing after round one. He shot a 75 in Sunday's second round and will enter Monday's final round in second place, trailing Michael Coriasso of Oakland by one shot.
Two other Tigers join Ballingall in the top 10. Redshirt freshman Jace Long is in a tie for fourth place with a 36-hole score of 147 (76-71) and sophomore Chris Johnson is tied for seventh spot with a score of 149 (74-75).
