SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Kennesaw State men's golf team began play at the Carolina Cup on Sunday at the Country Club of Carolina.
"Great round today by Hugo leading us with a 68," head coach
Bryant Odom said. " I am proud of Shaun for fighting back and turning in a 73 after some adversity early in the round. As a team, we must find ways to create and keep momentum during the round so we can lower the scores in the back of the lineup."
The Owls carded a 10-over par round of 298 in round one. Mercer leads the 14-team field at 6-under par 282.
Hugo Lari continued his strong play of late with a 4-under par round of 68. Lari rolled in five birdies and 12 pars during his round and is tied for fifth.
Freshman Sean Cook overcame a slow start and made three birdies over his final nine holes to sign for a 1-over round of 73. Cook is tied for 26th.
Claes Borregaard posted a 6-over 78 while
Evan Thompson carded a 7-over 79. Thompson eagled his final hole of the day. Borregaard is tied 63rd while Thompson is tied for 68th.
