Lim’s -8 round one was the best of the day
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – Sacred Heart University men's golf senior Marcus Lim leads the Autumn Invitational, hosted by Columbia at the Lake Placid Club Links Course, with a two-round score of 134 (-8), as the Pios rank fifth on the team leaderboard.
The Pioneers posted a combined score of 582 (+14) to sit in fifth, leading Fordham and St. Thomas Aquinas College by two strokes in sixth. Columbia holds the top spot at the event through 36 holds with a combined score of 566 (-2).
Lim leads the tournament after posting an incredible round one. The Selangor, Malaysia, native shot a tournament-low eight-under 63 in the first 18 holes, recording eight birdies and an eagle to start his day. He followed that up with four birdies in his even-par 71 in round two. Lim's opening round is a new season best for the senior, as his previous low was a 69 shot at the Red Bandana Invitational earlier this month.
Mike Rothberg is next on the scoreboard for SHU, as he is tied for 12th after carding a three-over 145 (71-74). The local product from Fairfield, Conn., finished the first 36 holes with five birdies, three in round one and two in round two.
In third for the Pioneers is Jason Pelley, who is tied for 35th after carding back-to-back rounds of 75 for an eight-over score of 150. Both of the junior's birdies today came in the opening round.
Making his season debut, sophomore Alex Turlik is tied for 47th place after carding a 153 (+11). Turlik finished the day with three birdies, two in his first 18 holes and one in his last 18. SHU's final competitor was Pablo Lacayo, who shot 162 (+20) on two rounds of 81.
The Autumn Invitational will culminate tomorrow with round 3, beginning at 8:45.
