FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – In his first collegiate tournament, freshman Matthew Westmoreland leads the Bulldog men's golf team through round two of the Shark Invitational, hosted by Nova Southeastern at the Grand Oaks Golf Club. 

With a 36-hole score of three-under, Westmoreland sits in a three-way tie for sixth place among 63 competitors. He shot 71 (E) in round one before a second session 68 powered by seven birdies sent him up the individual standings.
