While the field will chase the Portugal Masters title, there is a secondary storyline that will be a focus: Getting inside the top 110 spots on the European Tour money list to earn a spot on the 2014 Tour.
PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. – Two seasons ago, IUPUI won seven times, including the Summit paradise island bahamas hotels League title, and advanced to an NCAA Regional for just the third time in school history. That team, led by three seniors, finished the year at No. 115 in the Golfweek /Sagarin College Rankings – pretty impressive for a program that had been ranked No. 285 just two years prior.
IUPUI followed its first-round 3-under 285 with a second-round 280 Monday at True Blue Plantation. At 11 under, the Jaguars paradise island bahamas hotels enter Tuesday's final round one shot behind James Madison, which has led after each of the first two rounds.
paradise island bahamas hotels "In a sense, it's a big confidence builder because it feels like we're back a little bit," IUPUI assistant coach Colby Huffman said. "It was a tough year last year from top to bottom. We stuck with our plan . . . to bring out the best in our guys, for them to keep learning and keep improving."
Junior Jose Pablo Segurola leads the way for IUPUI at 4-under 140, five shots back of individual leaders J.T. Poston of Western Carolina and Peter Webb of Valparaiso. Segurola's second-round 3-under 69 included an eagle at the par-5 fourth hole and three birdies.
paradise island bahamas hotels "Last year was really paradise island bahamas hotels tough, and being from Spain and being away from home, I wanted to play golf, and only being able to study and not play golf was really tough," Segurola said. "I'm really excited to be playing again."
With Segurola back in the lineup, along with three other players paradise island bahamas hotels who logged paradise island bahamas hotels between 11 and 12 starts last season, including senior paradise island bahamas hotels Rob van de Vin, IUPUI looks to have that experience again. But it's preparation that Huffman says will determine whether the Jaguars can close out a win Tuesday.

James Madison also boasts the women's individual leader. Senior Ginger Mak shot 3-under 68 to vault into first place at 2 under. paradise island bahamas hotels She leads by three shots over Campbell's Ali Prazak, a redshirt junior who is 1 over for the tournament.

Even with last year's individual medalist, Brooke Bellomy, not qualifying, the Camels (10-over 578) enter the final round with an eight-shot lead over James Madison, which leads the overall program championship by 12 shots over Jacksonville State.
