WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. – The Gannon University men's golf team is in fourth place after two rounds of the 54-hole Saddlebrook Spring Kickoff. A total of nine teams are playing in the three-day event at the par-70 Saddlebrook Course at Saddlebrook Golf & Tennis Resort.

Ashland maintained its lead following two rounds with a four-golfer 298 total for the second round, good for a 36-hole total of 581. McKendree is nine stroke back at 590 after shooting a 290 total on Friday, the low team total of the day. St. Thomas (Fla.) climbed past Gannon by a stroke for third place and sits at 592, with the Golden Knights shooting a second-day total of 306 for a 593 total.

Giovanni Delorenzi (Reggio Emilia, Italy) followed a one-over par 71 on Thursday with a 74 on Friday and sits in fourth place on the individual leaderboard. Delorenzi opened with a triple-bogey seven on the first hole but birdied hole Nos. 5, 6 and 7, all par fours.

Ashland's Matthew McMullen and Kade Cannon of St. Thomas (Fla.) are tied for the individual lead after 36 holes at 139. McMullen had the low round of the day with an even-par 70. Gabriel DeCasa of Ave Maria is third at 143 with Delorenzi two strokes back at 145.
