Lewis was one of two Vols to be under par through the first round of play. He carded an opening round 70 (-1) which included four birdies. The Hendersonville, Tennessee native is even par in his second round through four holes of play and tied for 30th on the leaderboard.
The three other Tennessee players are just one stroke back of Lewis and tied for 38th on the individual leaderboard. Redshirt junior Tyler Johnson joined Lewis with an opening round 70 (-1) with six birdies to his name. He carded a four consecutive birdies from No. 8 to No. 12 to help close out his round.
Hall spent most of the day right around even par. He nearly finished his opening round under par before a bogey on No. 15 brought him back to even for the round. Hall parred the first four holes of his second round before the suspension of play.
Senior Jake Meenhorst enters Tuesday on a heater after carding a birdie on both No. 1 and No. 2 in his second round of play. The pair of birdies bright the Auckland, New Zealand back to even par for the tournament.
