Arone Guides Wolverines Earlier than Darkness Suspends Cullen Brown Collegiate

» As darkness fell over Lexington Country Club, second-round play on the Cullen Brown Collegiate was suspended, with the 15-team subject having between one and 4 holes left to finish. After an opening-round 292, Michigan stood 14th following the primary 18 holes.

» Teams will return to the course early Tuesday morning to complete the second spherical earlier than heading straight into the ultimate 18 holes. However, there’s a menace of rain heading into the realm on Tuesday morning.

» Steady from begin to end, RJ Arone paced the Wolverines with a 70 (-1) within the opening spherical, fueled by 15 pars and two birdies — his ninth sub-par tally in 10 fall rounds. He stood tied for sixteenth after the primary spherical.

» Nilay Naik added a 73 (+2) and sits tied for forty first. The sophomore has now posted 9 rounds of 73 or higher this fall.
