SAVANNAH, Ga., April 20, 2018—Through 36 holes in the 2018 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Men’s Golf Championship at Crosswinds Golf Club, Augusta University holds a 23-stroke lead, sitting at 4-over with a two-day total of 580 (292-288).
 
The three-time defending MEAC champion also has three of the top five spots in the individual leaderboard, including overall leader Alex Shead – who fired a 5-under 67 on Friday to sit at 4-under overall (140). Shead’s 67 was the low round of the day and of the tournament.
