The UCLA men's golf team, sparked by the solid play of junior Parker Mclachlin and freshman John Merrick, is third after 36 holes in the Inverness Intercollegiates at Inverness Club in Toledo, OH.

McLachlin posted rounds of 72-76--148 and Merrick came in with a pair of 74s. Both players trail Fresno State's Nick Watney (68-73--141) and Kansas' Travis Hurst (72-69--141) by seven shots.
UCLA sophomore Travis Johnson posted a pair of 75s and is tied for 21st at 150. Freshman Steve Conway fired a pair of 76s and is tied for 32nd at 152 with senior Ross Fulgentis, who shot 77-75.
