GREENVILLE, S.C. – Back in action and back atop the leader board is the Kennesaw State men’s golf team. The Owls finished round one of the Furman Intercollegiate in first place after shooting a (282, -6), at the Furman University Golf Course.
The Black and Gold were once again led by the stellar play of junior Matt Nagy who is in third place after carding a (68, -4) over the first 18-holes.
“We played a very clean round today,” head coach Jay Moseley said. “We remained patient after a good start and finished strong on the final nine.”
Sophomore Ben Greene continued his good play turning in a (70, -2) while freshman Jonathan Klotz was the last of the Owls to shoot sub par posting a (71, -1).
Junior Jeff Karlsson finished with a (73, +1), and senior Chad Wilson rounded out the team scoring shooting a (76, +4). Sophomore Peder Lunde Hermansson finished at (77, +) as an individual competitor.
“Tomorrow we just need to go out and play smart, solid golf and give ourselves a chance to win on Sunday,” Moseley said.
The Owls hold a three-stroke lead over Virginia Tech (285, -3) and five-stoke lead over 2010 champion, Clemson (287, 5).
In the individual race, William Sjaichudin (65, -7) of Purdue holds a two-stroke lead over Harold Varner (67, -5) of East Carolina and a three-stroke lead over Nagy.
The team will tee off in the second wave on Saturday at 1 p.m. (ET), and will be paired with UNC Wilmington and Marshall University. Live stats of the Furman Intercollegiate can be seen at Golfstat.com. For complete coverage of round two and all KSU men’s golf news, visit www.ksuowls.com.
