MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The University of Dallas men's golf team completed two rounds at the Rhodes College Spring Classic at Windyke West Country Club on Monday. Emilio Montalvo (Mexico City, Mexico) shot a career-best 68 in the first round, along with a 71 in Round Two to sit in a tie for third place with a 139 - good for an individual low two rounds record.

Robby Evans (Flower Mound, Texas) carded a 141 (72, 69) to put himself in a tie for sixth place. The sophomore's second round score was his lowest in the spring season and second time to be in the 60's during 2018-19. His season-low was 67 in the third round at the John Bohmann Invitational. Erik Hamm (Brentwood, Tenn.) is tied for 21st after shooting +1 on the day. His 70 in the second round notched a career-best for the junior.
