BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-- Freshmen Lucas Glover and John Engler both rank in the top 10 individually to lead Clemson to a first-place ranking after the first two rounds of the Jerry Pate Intercollegiate at Old Overton Golf Club in Birmingham, AL. The Tigers have a five stroke lead over Florida and Arizona through 36 holes of the 54-hole event. The Tournament features 12 of the top teams in men's college golf. Seven of the top 15 teams from the 1997 NCAA event are in this field.
