ESTERO, Fla. – Jesus Dario Montenegro shot a second-round 67 to jump into second place and lead the Jacksonville State men's golf team into third on Day One of the Old Corkscrew Intercollegiate on Monday.
The Gamecocks turned in back-to-back rounds of 290 on the first day of the two-day, 54-hole event and sit one shot behind Jacksonville in second and 11 back of host Florida Gulf Coast in first place. The final round on the par-72, 7,393-yard Old Corkscrew Golf Club will begin at 8:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday.
Montenegro rallied after a slow start to his day. The senior from Buenos Aires, Argentina, was four over through his first four holes but birdied four of his next seven holes to get back to even par. He would salvage a first-round 74 before making the push in the afternoon round.
He made seven birdies in his second round and catapulted 27 shots up the 75-player leaderboard into second place with a 36-hole score of 141 (-3). He is just two shots behind leader Brandon Einstein of High Point with 18 holes to play.
Junior Maximo Portais is tied for 12th after opening play with a 74 and finishing his day with an even-par 72. His 36-hole score of 146 (+2) has him just one shot out of the Top 10.
He is one shot ahead of junior Jackson Singletary, whose rounds of 71-76 has him tied for 14th at 147 (+3). Junior Patricio Freundt-Thurne and senior Quim Vidal Mora are tied for 38th after shooting 152 on the first day of the event. Freundt-Thurne turned in rounds of 77-75, while Vidal Mora shot 71 in the morning and 81 in the afternoon.
Senior Max Basler is competing as an individual and is tied for 47th after rounds of 76-78 accounted for his 36-hole 154.
