The WSU men’s golf team is off to a great start after the first and second round on Monday, in the Seattle University Redhawk Invitational at the scenic Chambers Bay Golf Club in University Place, Washington.

The Pac-12 schools are currently dominating the leaderboard, and show no signs of letting up. In-state rival No. 27 Washington is leading the tournament after finishing the first two rounds with (+38), followed by WSU (+49). Rounding out the top three is Oregon State, who ended the day with a (+50).

The Cougars, who have been struggling lately, had an impressive day. Across the board, the Cougars are playing terrific golf with three players in the top-25. Chambers Bay Golf Club, the course that hosted the 2015 U.S. Open is known for its difficult links style, which is often seen in Scotland.

Not far behind Armstrong is senior Evan Omelia. Omelia, who posted a (+11, 149) in the first two rounds, is currently in 10th place. Entering the final round, four strokes back from the leader, Omelia will have the opportunity to really jump up the leaderboard Tuesday.
