FRESNO, Calif. – Freshman Jose Suryadinata sits in a tie for 2nd place on the individual leaderboard after the conclusion of the first two-rounds of the Nick Watney Invitational.
 
As a team, Idaho shot a four-under 572 through the first two rounds of the Nick Watney Invitational. The Vandals currently sit in 7^th place with 18 holes left to play on Tuesday in a very close and competitive field.

"Approaching tomorrow the exact same as today," said head coach David Nuhn. "Strategic tee shots, smart approaches to middles of these extremely small greens, smart misses, make some putts. Number 1 thing is to stay aggressive. We can pick good targets that are not the flagsticks, but that doesn't mean we can be lackadaisical.  We must hit shots with intention always. Today was a blast, tomorrow is going to be also. We are excited and ready."
 
Suryadinata came out on fire during his first collegiate tournament. In the first round, the freshman fired in seven birdies with an opening round score of 3-under. Suryadinata carried his momentum in the second round, firing a second-round score of 4-under. Suryadinata finishes the day with a combined score of 7-under and only trails first place by one stroke.
 
Graduate student Sean Mullan is within the top 15 after a two-round score of 3-under. Mullan caught fire on his front-nine during the first round, firing in three birdies in his final five holes of the round. Mullan continued his consistent play and scored a 2-under in the second round. Mullan is tied for 14^th entering the final round of play tomorrow.
