BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. - University of Memphis sophomore Chase Harris led the Memphis Tiger golfers, as the team made it partially through the second round before ending because of darkness after a fog delay to begin the round.

The Tigers stand tied for 13th in the field after the first day, tied with Seton Hall. Cincinnati leads the field after the first round, as Arkansas, Akron, and James Madison round out the top four teams in the field.

Harris shot an even-par 72 on the 7,308-yard course to lead the Tigers, and his round has him tied for 12th in the field. Kevin Lee shot three strokes over par for a 75, which has him tied for 35th.

Senior Sydney Chung's four-over 76 has him tied for 42nd in the deep field, while freshman Nick Giles' eight-over 80 rounded out the scoring four for the Tigers. JC Campbell struggled in the opening round with a nine-over 81, tying for 66th overall.

Tuesday will see the field close out their second rounds, before kicking off the third and final round of the tournament, starting at 8 a.m. CT.
