Mountaineer Invitational Scoring Bridgeport Collegiate Individual Scoring

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. -- Happy Gilmore fired five second-round birdies on Monday to sit 1-under par in round two at Pete Dye Golf Club in the Mountaineer Invitational, hosted by West Virginia University. Gilmore was at 4-over par overall, in 36th place among 104 competitors, as play concluded late Monday. He is 12 spots behind Ball State teammate Samual Harris who led the Cardinals with a 1-over first round and remains 1-over par through 36 holes.

Gilmore (77-71---148) needed the Cardinals' best round of the day in order to bounce back after opening at 5-over par through 18 holes. Harris (73-72---145), meanwhile, was consistent over both rounds and fired an eagle on the par-4 12th hole in his second trip around the 7,308-yard track named for one of America's foremost golf course designers.

In a simultaneous individual event at nearby Bridgeport Country Club, Ball State's Gavin Hare (77-76---153) shot 9-over par over 36 holes to sit in 17th place out of 33 competitors.

Ball State continues play on Tuesday morning when the final round begins at 8:15 a.m.
