DAY ONE RESULTS
COLLEGE GROVE, TN – On a rainy first day, Middle Tennessee carded an opening round 292 and stand in second place at the fourth annual Franklin American Mortgage Intercollegiate at The Grove.
Ole Miss leads the tournament after posting a 287 while Georgia Tech is third, Kennesaw State fourth and Liberty and Charleston in fifth.
"We played a very solid round of golf today," said Head Coach Brennan Webb. "I was proud of the guys handling the adversity of some tough weather and a tough set up. Tyler (Johnson) had a great round of golf and it was great to see him continue his strong play during his redshirt freshman season."
Johnson fired an opening round 2-under par 70 and is tied for first overall. He had five birdies on the day and was one of just three golfers to shoot under par in day one.
Junior Marcus Byrd and James Beckner both registered rounds of 73 and are tied for ninth. Each posted three birdies on their rounds.
Sophomore Ilari Saulo turned in a 76 and is tied for 23rd while Chip Thomas added a 79 and is tied for 45th.
The Blue Raiders also had four players compete as individuals led by Tanner Owens' 76 to tie for 23rd overall. Graham Gosselin had an 80, Hoyeong Kim an 81 and Alessandro Noseda tallied an 82.
The Blue Raiders will begin play Monday morning at 8:40 AM and fans can follow live scoring at golfstat.com.
