CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Playing in their closest event to campus this season, Liberty has a pair of golfers currently inside the top 20 at the third annual Lewis Chitengwa Memorial.
Liberty's Brett Reid (69-74) and Isaac Simmons (70-73) paced Liberty during its first two trips around the Birdwood Golf Course (par 71, 7,116 yards) in Charlottesville on Monday.
Liberty's top two golfers are currently tied for 18th place with an overall 1-over par 143. As a team, the Flames will enter the final round in 12th place with an overall team score of 16-over par 584 (288-296).
