The Ohio State men’s golf team opened the 2012 Big Ten Championships in French Lick, Indiana Friday ranked ninth after two rounds of play. The Scarlet and Gray carded a 39-over 615 on the par-72, 7,152-yard Pete Dye Course at the French Lick Resort, and currently has two individuals in the top 20 – Grant Weaver and Boo Timko.
Weaver, who is competing in his first conference tournament as a freshman, posted a consistent score of 3-over 75 in the first and second rounds. The Wooster, Ohio native, will enter day two tied for 14th-place with a 6-over 150. Another freshman competing for the Buckeyes, Timko, followed closely with a pair of 4-over 76 scores to tie for 20th-place (8-over 152).
Senior Alex Redfield recorded an even 72 in the first round and followed with 13-over 85 in the second. Currently tied for 39th-place, Redfield finished the day with a 13-over 157.
After a top 10 finish at the Robert Kepler Intercollegiate Tournament (April 14-15), redshirt freshman Logan Jones is tied for 47th-place after shooting a 16-over 160. Matt Turner rounds out scoring for the Scarlet and Gray, posting an 18-over 162 to tie for 54th-place.
