PRINCETON, N.J. — The Dartmouth men's golf team sits in the middle of the pack in sixth place after the first day of completion at the Princeton Invitational at the Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. The Big Green scored a 299, which is 19-over and eight shots behind the leader from Yale at 291.

The Princeton Invite will be a first for the Big Green this season, as this is a traveling event. Saturday's contest was held at the Aronimink Golf Club while Sunday's final round will be played at the Merion Golf Club's East Course in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. Both courses are a par-70. In the past, the invite had been played at Princeton's home course of Springdale Golf Club.

Freshman Edric Wung is playing as an individual and is tied for fifth after 18 holes. He shot a 1-over 71 and trails the leader Brandon Matthews of Temple who is at 2-under 68. Sophomore Sean Fahey is tied for 10th at 2-over. Fahey shot 2-under on par-5 holes and is tied for the birdie lead with five.

Senior Charlie Edler is tied for 18th and shot a 74. Edler did well on par-5 holes shooting a 1-under. He finished with 10 pars and two birdies. Freshman Ian Kelsey is in 26th and carded a 75. Just like Edler, Kelsey had 10 pars and two birdies and went 1-over on par-4 holes.

Junior Charles Cai and sophomore Jeff Lang rounded out the Big Green card shooting a 78 and 82, respectively.

Sunday's final round will be shot at Merion Golf Course. The course is shorter than Aronimink. Merion is a 6,502-yard course compared to Aronimink at 6,970.
