By the Numbers
+3 – MTSU was 3-over on par 3 holes, the third-lowest among the 14-team field.
58 – The Blue Raiders' 58 pars are tied for the most in the tournament.
Coach's Comments: Chris Adams
"It was a beautiful day for our first round back for spring season. The whole team came out ready to roll and got off to a good start. The wind picked up pretty heavily half way through the round, which made it more difficult on the whole field and produced some high numbers. They did a good job of holding it together despite the heavy gusts and finished in the middle of the pack. If we can eliminate the high numbers and see some birdies fall we have a great chance of climbing the leading board tomorrow."
