After day one of the NIT in Tucson, the Arizona State men's golf team is one stroke back of leader Iowa State. The two-day event featured rounds one and two played back-to-back with the final round to be played Tuesday. The tournament is played at Omni Tucson National Resort on the Catalina Course.
Two Sun Devil freshman shined on Monday, as both Chun An Yu and Alejandro Del Rey Gonzalez are tied for fourth. Captain Jared du Toit also continued his outstanding season as he is eighth. The senior has finished in the top ten in the last five tournaments and will look to extend that streak in the final round. Del Rey Gonzalez had 13 birdies in 36 holes, as ASU led the tournament with 45 birdies.
Rounding out the Arizona State lineup were freshman Blake Wagoner (tied for 22nd) and senior Nicolo Galletti (tied for 49th).
