STOCKTON, Calif. – Fueled by a flock of birdies, Pacific men's golf carded its best round at home in program history, taking a commanding lead of first place after two rounds at the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational on Friday at The Reserve at Spanos Park.

Across the two-day total, the Tigers (-37/263) masterfully executed their second round with a 25-under par, surpassing the previous mark for lowest team round at a Pacific-hosted tournament since Oct. 31, 2012, at Brookside Country Club. In that year, the Tigers earned a tie for second place.

This year, the Tigers stand comfortably in front as they hold a 13-stroke lead over second-place teams Colorado and UC San Diego (-24).

A trio of Tigers spearheaded the competition on Friday with senior Ian Fritz, redshirt junior Deitrek Gill and sophomore Felix Bouchard all standing tied for second individually at nine-under par. For Fritz and Bouchard, it marks their best rounds to date suited up as Tigers.

Fritz and Gill both collected seven-under pars in their second go-around of the course, each collecting seven birdies during their bogey-free rounds. Bouchard started the day with birdies on five of his first six holes and ended with a six-under par.

Senior Timothy Jung bounced back from yesterday and propelled himself back to an even total after collecting a five-under par today.

Senior Travis Robbie, the 2024 Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational individual champion, took a step back, but still holds strong in 15th place individually with a four-under par after 36 holes.

Sophomore Josh Stuart was the best individual for Pacific today, carding a four-under par to post a one-over through two rounds. Junior Justin Bai stands one spot behind Robbie with a three-under par. Sophomore Brasen Briones and senior Daniel Henely completed the individuals showcased for Pacific.

Day three of the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational will begin at 7:30 a.m. from the first and tenth holes. Live scoring for the tournament can be found
