LAKE WORTH, Fla. – Leon Fricker leads all Bethune-Cookman men’s golfers after two rounds at the FAU Slomin Autism Championship at the Fountains Country Club in Lake Worth, Florida. The three-day, 54-hole event is being hosted by Florida Atlantic on the North Course.

With heavy storms cutting several players first rounds short Friday afternoon/evening, Bethune-Cookman finished up its first round Saturday morning, followed by second round play immediately afterwards. The Wildcats sat in a tie for 17th place following the first 18 holes, only to move up two spots to 15th as the second round concluded.

Fricker, a junior from Ivybridge, England, turned in his second-best score of the 2014-15 season during the first round, carding a 2-under 69. He followed with a 1-over 72 to place himself fifth overall heading into Sunday’s championship round. He currently sits at 141 (-1), trailing third place by just a single stroke.

Ian Clark (76-75=151) sits tied for 62nd in the field after collecting a two-round score of 151 (+9), just two back of a top 50 showing.

Freshman Alvaro Ramirez (77-77=154, +12) fell nine spots from his position after the first 18 holes, as he fired consecutive rounds of 77. He sits tied for 81st.

Bradley Peil, a junior from Ransom, Calif., opened with a 4-over 75, placing himself tied for 53rd. However, he shot an 8-over 79 in the second round, dropping him to a tie for 81st alongside teammate Ramirez.

Meanwhile, England’s Jackson Kneeshaw (83-75=158, +16) bounced back from an opening round 83, firing a 4-over 75 in his second round on Saturday. That allowed Kneeshaw to move up 12 spots to a tie for 95th.

The final B-CU golfer was Scott Lemon (84-74=158, +16) who sits tied alongside Kneeshaw in 95th, making the largest jump of any B-CU golfer on Saturday. He moved up 13 spots following an opening round 84, carding a 3-over 74 in his final 18 holes on Saturday.

As a team, Bethune-Cookman collected scores of 303 and 296, respectively.

UCF (279-293=572, +4) leads the tournament field heading into Sunday, followed by Florida Atlantic, East Carolina, Florida Gulf Coast, Connecticut and Northern Illinois all tied for second.
