DAVIDSON, N.C. - After a rainless first round of play, the sky opened up and play was suspended during the final round of the day at the Birkdale Classic. Davidson sits in 14th place after 18 holes of play, 19 strokes behind the leader Virginia Tech who shot a 290 in the first round.

Jonathan Hill of East Carolina and Ramon Bescansa of UNC each finished with first-round totals of 69, good for second-place heading into the final round of competition.

Freshman Tim Dillon and senior Ben Friedell led the way for the Wildcats, carding rounds of 76 in the first 18 holes. Rookie Christian Davis shot a 78 and sophomore Peyton Gallagher finished one stroke behind him with a 79. Sophomore Dan Walker ended the day with a round of 85.
