The LSU men’s golf team gave LSU fans and Baton Rouge residents something to cheer about in person Monday for the first time since 2005.The Tigers, playing on their home turf for the first time since winning the LSU Spring Invitational in April 2005, came out firing on all cylinders Monday en route to a 10-under par 558 at the inaugural David Toms Intercollegiate at the Country Club of Louisiana.LSU junior All-American John Peterson leads the field after the first 36 holes with a 10-under 132.Peterson racked up 12 birdies on his way to shooting a pair of 66s in the first and second rounds to grab a two-stroke lead over Kent State’s Mackenzie Hughes, who sits in second place with an 8-under 134.Junior Andrew Loupe had the second-best day for the Tigers after shooting a 68 in the second round to lower his 36-hole total to 1-under 141.Hughes’ second-place score puts Kent State, which finished the day with a 7-under 561, three shots behind LSU. In-state foe Southeastern Louisiana is in third place after compiling a 4-under 564.The Lions bounced back in the second round with a 9-under 275, after struggling with a 5-over 289 during the first 18 holes.Besides Peterson and Loupe, LSU received well-rounded play from its remaining three golfers.Sophomore Josh Jones shot a even-par 142, good enough for a six-way tie for 22nd place.Junior Clayton Rotz and sophomore Sang Yi both finished with a 4-over 146 to put them in a tie for 46th.With rain forecast for today’s final round, a decision was made Monday evening to make the final 18 holes a shotgun start.The shotgun start, which places golfers into groups for a simultaneous start from different holes on the course, is set to begin at 9 a.m.The saturated courses at CCLA have already taken its toll on the 14-team field.The eighth hole was shortened from a 402-yard par 4 to a 145-yard par 3 because of excess water.The National Weather Service has forecast a 70 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms today with rainfall totals possibly more than 1 inch.–Contact Sean Isabella at [email protected]
