NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - The UC Irvine men's golf team opened the spring season by hosting the first day of the Anteater Invitational Monday at Big Canyon Country Club. The 'Eaters were in sixth place through 18 holes before play was suspended in the second round due to darkness.
UCI was one of six teams to complete the first two rounds, posting a score of 603 (304-299).
Junior Jonathan Kang sits in fourth place at 1-under 143 (70-73). Kang, who concluded the fall season with three consecutive sub-par rounds, picked up right where he left off, carding a 70 (-2) through the first 18. He tied for the team lead with five birdies on the day.
Junior Ramiz Jamal struggled in the first round at 7-over, but regrouped in the second where he shot an even-par 72. Jamal highlighted the afternoon with his first collegiate hole-in-one. He recorded the ace on the par 3, 202-yard 12th hole. Jamal is currently tied for 26th at 151 (79-72).
