HOUMA, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University men's golf team holds an eight shot lead with all five players in the top 15 after the first two rounds of the Ellendale Intercollegiate Monday at Ellendale Country Club in Houma, Louisiana.
 
The Lions shot -11 for the day, shooting -8 in the first round and -3 in the second round. The performance was SLU's best 36-hole result under seventh-year head coach Jake Narro.
 
Southeastern was led by senior Logan Kuehn, who is in third place at -4 after two rounds. The Lake Charles, Louisiana native fired an opening round 69 (-3) with two birdies, an eagle and a bogey. Kuehn battle through some trouble in the second round to finish at 71 with four birdies and three bogeys.
 
Charlie Forster, currently tied for fourth place, is also in contention for the Lions after shooting -3 for the first 36 holes. The Lions' newcomer had a phenomenal opening round as he shot a team season-low 67 (-5). In the second round, Forster shot 74 (+2) scattering three birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey.
 
Michael Landry is just one shot back of Forster at -2 after a pair of 71's in the first two rounds. Tied for sixth place, Landry was a rock in the opening round with two birdies and one bogey. However, he had to fight back from a bogey and double bogey on back-to-back holes in the second round to shoot -1.
 
Cameron Mobley and Grayson Glorioso both shot +1 and are tied for 15^th place after two rounds Monday. Mobley finished the opening round with a 74 followed by a second round 71. Glorioso shot 73 in his opening round then an even par 72 in the second to keep the Lions in dominant position.
 
"We played really well today," said Narro. "But all we've done is put ourselves in position to win. If we don't go out and perform tomorrow, we will not accomplish our goals. The weather was great today and things worked out for us. But we need to finish the job tomorrow.'
 
Monday was the program's best two-round result since March 23, 2015 when the Lions shot -18 in the first two rounds of the Lone Star Invitational. The Lions' efforts also resulted in just the 11^th time since 1998 that SLU has shot -10 or better in 36 holes.
 
UIW's Ken Marten-Soo leads the individual standings at -6 while North Alabama is trailing the Lions in second place at -3.
 
The tournament concludes Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. with the final 18 of the 54-hole event.
