Stanford, Calif. - The top-ranked Stanford men's golf team shot rounds of 293 and 286 on the first day of competition at the Fighting Illini Invitational today, and currently stand fifth (+19) in the 12-team field. Seventh-ranked Oklahoma State leads after 36 holes with rounds of 292 and 275 (+7). Rounding out the top five are No. 23 Texas (+10), No. 8 Florida State (+16), and Indiana (+18).
Senior Rob Grube (71-73), freshman Sihwan Kim (73-71) and junior Dodge Kemmer (75-69) led the way for the Cardinal and are tied for 10th overall with a 4-over, 144. Sophomore Joseph Bramlett (74-74) is tied for 25th at 7-over, 147, and sophomore Jordan Cox (77-73) rounds out the Cardinal players in a tie for 45th at 10-over, 150.
