OWENS CROSSROADS, Ala. – Junior Michael Ikejiani finished with one of the lowest rounds in school history as the University of Evansville men's golf team wrapped up the Alabama A&M Fall Invite on Tuesday at RTJ at Hampton Cove.
Final Results
Ikejiani recorded a 5-under 67 in Tuesday's second round.  It was the 4th-lowest score in school history and just nine Purple Aces players have shot a lower round.  His score vaulted him into a tie for 9th place in the tournament and was an 11-stroke improvement from round one.  His score finished at 145.  Playing for the purple team, Ikejiani helped his squad tie the UE orange team with a 2-round score of 593. 
 
The tournament was called after two of the three scheduled rounds were complete.  Play was halted on Monday evening due to darkness while low visibility caused a short delay on Tuesday morning.
