Irish Creek Collegiate Live Scoring

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The 13-team field at the Irish Creek Invitational, including Coastal Carolina, played one and a half rounds before sever thunderstorms called a halt to action Saturday. Unofficially, the Chanticleers were in fourth after round one, but are being shown in a tie for fifth at today's stopping point.

Play will resume at 8:15 am Sunday, completing round two, and then the final round will be a shotgun start approximately 45 minutes after the completion of the second round.

There was one weather delay early in round two and then play was suspended again around 6 pm due to heavy thunderstorms.

Coastal Carolina posted a six-over par 290 on the par 71 Club at Irish Creek in round one and trailed Duke (276), Wake Forest (280) and Louisville (284). Unofficially, Coastal was at eight over par, getting in between 12 and 15 holes in round two and is shown in a tie with Kennesaw State at fifth.
