HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – The UIndy men's golf team (296) opened the 2019 NCAA DII Central/Midwest Regional today, finishing the first of three rounds tied for fourth place. The three-day, 20-team regional is being contested at Hot Springs Country Club in Hot Springs, Ark.
 
Nine back of leader Missouri-St. Louis, UIndy's team score of +8 is two shots better then Arkansas Tech and Southwestern Oklahoma State, who are currently tied for sixth. Only the top six teams at the end of the 54-hole tournament will advance to the NCAA DII Championships later this month.
 
Earning his second career All-GLVC nod earlier in this week, junior Erik Edwards led the Hounds Thursday with an even-par 72, good for a share of 13th place among the 108 competitors. Sophomore Ian Carroll finished at +1 to tie for 15th. One back of him was sophomore Oliver Mast (74) in 21st place, followed by junior Spencer Klimek (77) in 54th and freshman Cam Carroll (81) in 93rd. The four golfers whose scores counted today combined to shot six-under par over the final four holes.
