RALEIGH, N.C. -- Freshman Will Morlan (-1) is tied for 25th to lead Furman after the opening day of the Wolfpack Intercollegiate Saturday at the par 72, 7,358 yard Lonnie Poole Golf Course in Raleigh, N.C.

Teams were scheduled to compete in two rounds on Saturday, but play was halted at 3:45 p.m. for an hour and 15 minutes due to inclement weather.  Play resumed at 5 p.m. but teams were unable to complete the second round, so round two will continue with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday.  Teams will continue straight into round three following the completion of round two. 

A native of Alpharetta, Ga., Morlan teed off on No. 14 in round one and birdied No. 15 then carded birdies on No. 1 and No. 11 to finish the round with a 2-under 70.  In round two, he is currently 1-over after notching consecutive birdies on No. 3 and No. 4.

Sophomore Mac Scott (-1) paced the Paladins with a 67 in round one after tallying an eagle on the par-5 No. 11 and adding a team-high four birdies.  He is 5-over in round two to tie for 29th.  Senior Jack Crosby (+1) shot an even 72 with birdies on No. 17 and No. 18 in round one and sits at 1-over with a birdie on No. 3 in round two.  He enters Sunday tied for 38th.  

Junior Ross Funderburke (+3) is tied for 57th after carding a 76 with a birdie on No. 11 in round one and finishing Saturday at 1-under with two birdies in round two, while junior Walker Crosby (+2) shot a 73 with two birdies in round one and is currently 1-over in round two after eagling the par-5 No. 7.  He is tied for 49th.  

UNCG (-21) leads the field by eight strokes mid-way through round two.  Host N.C. State (-13) is in second, followed by James Madison (-11) in third.  The Paladins (-4) are tied for sixth place with Elon (-4), ahead of SoCon foe Wofford (+6), along with Group of 5 opponents Eastern Michigan (-3), Cincinnati (+5), and East Carolina (+8), among others.
