Junior Chris Frame (Woodstock, Ill.) carded a five-over 147 (72-75) on the par 71, 6,480-yard course to lead the Scarlet Knights and place eighth in the 69-player field.
"Chris has been playing really well as of late," said men's golf coach Jason Bataille. "He is really beginning to emerge as a leader. The team has continued to build on the momentum we generated at the start of the spring season."
