MONTERREY, Mex. – Carter White fired two even-par rounds and sits in tenth place, as the North Dakota State men's golf team wrapped up the first two rounds of the Monterrey Collegiate Classic in eighth place on Monday evening.
The Bison (294-298–592) closed day one in eighth place at +16 overall. They sit 14 strokes behind first-place Howard (290-288–578) and nine strokes back of second-place Idaho (298-285–583).
Carter White (72-72–144) finished in solo 10th at even-par. White posted consecutive rounds of even-par 72, with three birdies in both rounds. He carded back-to-back birdies on holes 1 and 2 in the first round and opened the second round with a birdie on hole 13. After 11 pars over his next 14 holes, he finished the round with birdies on holes 10 and 11 and a par on hole 12. White has posted 7 rounds of even-par or better this season, and is aiming for his fourth top-10 finish of the season after opening the season with a win and finishing in fifth and sixth place the last two tournaments.
Andrew Ballou (75-73–148) finished in a tie for 18th at +4 overall. Ballou was a pillar of consistency all day, carding 12 pars and two birdies in the first round and 11 pars and 3 birdies in the second round. He posted a birdie on hole 13 in both rounds, a tough 493-yard par 4.
Peyton Albers (74-75–149) ended the day in a tie for 25th at +5 overall. He birdied hole 1 in the first round and posted 14 pars the rest of the round, finish with an even-par 36 on the front nine. He opened the second round with two birdies in his first five holes and carded another on hole 4. Albers is seeking his fourth top-20 finish of the season, after earning three top-10 finishes in his first five collegiate tournaments.
Joey Mackinac (74-78–152) finished in a tie for 37th at +8 overall. Mackinac fired 12 consecutive pars from holes 18 to 11 in the first round, carding birdies on holes 12 and 14 as well. He opened the second round with six more pars and collected a birdie on hole 7.
Henry Johnson (74-82–156) finished in a tie for 50th at +12 overall. Johnson fired an even-par 36 on the front nine in the first round and nabbed a birdie on hole 10. His 14 pars in the first round are tied for the most by a Bison in the tournament.
Elias Ekern (75-76–151) and Sean Moore (77-77–154) competed as individuals, finishing in 36th and 44th, respectively. Ekern carded three birdies in round one and another on hole 10 in round two, finishing with 21 pars on the day.
