GREENVILLE, SC - Senior Kevin Busteed shot a two-over 74 to lead Temple at the rain-soaked Furman Intercollegiate on Saturday. Busteed is tied for 10th in the field of 114, while the Owls are tied for 12th with a team-score of 309. The tournament, originally scheduled for 54 holes, has been shortened to 36 after rain washed out most of Friday and Saturday.

Sophomore Mark Edmondson competed as an individual, shooting a 85 (+13) to tie for 109th.
Despite standing in 12th place, the Owls are just 13 strokes behind tourney leader North Florida (296, +8). Virginia Tech is one shot back in second place, followed by East Carolina (298), Furman (301) and Troy (302). Furman's Daniel Bowden shot a three-under 69 and is alone in the top spot.
Play will resume on Sunday at 8 AM.
