DRIGGS, Idaho – Spencer Tibbits held the individual lead and the Oregon State men's golf team was in second place when play was halted due to darkness at the Showdown in the Rockies on Monday.

Tibbits finished 35 of the 36 scheduled holes on the opening day to hold a one-stroke lead at 9 under. He shot a 2-under 70 in the morning round and had seven birdies and no bogeys in the second 18 before play was halted.

The Beavers are 6 under with Tibbits and Kyosuke Hara each needing to finish one hole. Utah is at 11 under and Texas Tech is 5 under. Both teams had two players on the course when play was halted.

The second round of the two-day, 54-hole tournament will be finished before the final round begins at 8 a.m. MT (7 a.m. PT) on Tuesday. Live scoring is available at golfstat.com.

"Our guys played really well," Oregon State head coach Jon Reehoorn said. "It's exciting to play in the final pairing and compete for a tournament win tomorrow."

Freshmen Nolan Thoroughgood (even-par 70-74--144) and Sean Kato (6-over 73-77--150) both made their collegiate debut for the Beavers. Junior Shawn Lu concluded both rounds with a 2-over 75-71--146.

Senior Trevor Yu is competing as an individual and finished the day with a 6-over 73-77--150 at the par-72, 7,613-yard Huntsman Springs Golf Course.
