SUGAR GROVE, Ill. --- Darkness postponed the conclusion of the second round at the Northern Intercollegiate, but not before the Purdue men's golf team pieced together two solid rounds to sit in fourth place after Saturday's action at Rich Harvest Farms.
With three players (Brian Carlson, Austin Eoff, Fernando Barco) still on the course finishing up their final three holes of the second round, Purdue recorded a first-round score of 7-over par 295, and currently sits at 6-over par late into its second round for a 13-over par total.

Both Louisville and Virginia have also only played 12 holes in the second round.
Two Boilermakers were able to finish their days as Stuart Macdonald and Chad Phillips completed their second rounds.
Macdonald, a senior from Vancouver, B.C., is currently in a tie for 10th at 1-over par 145 (73-72). In the second round, Macdonald was 3-over par through seven holes, but birdied his 11th, 12th and 13th holes to move to even-par for his round. He would par his final five holes to finish his day 1-over par.
Phillips, playing in his first career round on the counting team, had a solid day by finishing at 6-over par 150 (75-75) to sit in a 29th-place tie. Phillips (tied with Macdonald) was second in the field in birdies with eight, recording four in each round.
