Gators Lead the Field after Day One in Jacksonville

Ponte Vedra, Fla. – After the first two rounds of the Sea Best Invitational, the Florida Gators men's golf team holds the top spot. They finished the first round in the lead and remained there for the entirety of the second round.

Senior Gordon Neale stayed in the top 10 all day, closing out round two in a tie for 3rd and shooting one-under in both rounds. Redshirt freshman Manny Girona had the low round of the day in his second, shooting a three-under 67 to recover from his two-over first round.

The Gators are the only team in the field shooting under par. They also have five of their eight players competing sitting inside the top 25, including redshirt junior Blake Dyer, who is competing as an individual.
