SAN DIEGO - Competing as an individual, San Diego State freshman golfer Tom Berry (New Haw, England) is currently in third place after 36 holes Monday with a 4-under 140 at the 5th Annual Callaway Invitational at the par-72, 6,910-yard Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. Berry is just one stroke behind Fresno State's Bhavik Patel and trails day one leader SMU's Matt Schovee by two strokes heading into Tuesday's final round.
Berry was tied with Patel and Fresno State's Grant Doverspike through the first 18 holes after carding a career-low 3-under 69. He followed that up with a 71 in the afternoon to match his career best for 36 holes with a 140.
