PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. – The Kennesaw State men's golf team sits in 11
th place after the opening round of the Golfweek Fall Challenge at True Blue Golf Club.
"The team played a lot of really solid golf today but the putts did not fall," head coach
Bryant Odom said. "If we can make a few more putts early we can build some confidence and momentum. The ball striking is supporting some low scores. We worked on a few things on the greens after the round and I feel good about the next couple of days. We are second in the field in pars so that is encouraging."
The Owls carded a 5-over par 293 in round one. Mercer leads the 17-team field after a 15-under 273 in round one.
