Northwestern in 10th Place at Notre Dame Invitational/Central Regional Preview

Sept. 17, 2004

BRIDGMAN, Mich. -- After the first round of the Notre Dame Invitational/Central Regional Preview, Northwestern is in 10th place, 22 strokes back of tourney-leading Kent State. This 15-team event features some of the top golf programs from the central part of the United States.

Playing the first 18 holes at the Lost Dunes Club in southern Michigan, Northwestern was paced by freshman and Michigan native Dan Doyle (Rochester, Mich./Stoney Creek). He shot a 5-over 75 on the par-70 course. The tourney's individual leader is Kent State's Ryan Yip, who is 2-under (68) after the first round.

Senior Dillon Dougherty (Woodland, Calif./Woodland) and freshman Kyle Moore (Dublin, Ohio/Dublin Scioto) are one and two strokes, respectively, behind Doyle. Dougherty is in 26th place and Moore, playing in his first collegiate event for NU, is in 37th place.

The second and third rounds (Saturday and Sunday) will be played at the Warren Golf Course, site of next spring's NCAA Central Regional Championships.
