CARROLLTON, Texas -- Through 18 holes of play at the Maridoe Intercollegiate, the University of Tennessee men's golf junior Jake Meenhorst has the low score for the team.
The Fred Haskins Award Watch List member is inside of the top 20 on the leaderboard after carding an opening round score of 73 (+3) at Maridoe Country Club Saturday.
Four strokes behind Meenhorst sit fellow juniors Rhys Nevin and Hunter Wolcott at 6-over entering the second round of play. Wolcott led the team in birdies, carding one on the par-4 fifth and par-4 18th hole. Both players are inside of the top 50 on the leaderboard after one round of play.
As a team, Tennessee sits in 12th in the tournament with a round score of 307 on Saturday. Tennessee is bunched up with a number of teams on the leaderboard as only six strokes separate 12th place from sixth place.
Tennessee is scheduled to tee off of No. 10 tomorrow morning with the first tee set for 9:30 a.m. (ET). The Vols will be paired with New Mexico and HoustonÂ
Coach's Take
On the play of Jake Meenhorst:
"Jake did not have his best stuff today but still managed to grind out a solid round. His ability to do this is one of his strengths and adds a great deal of stability to our team." - Coach Brennan Webb
On improvements heading into round two:
"Obviously, we didn't have our best stuff today, but I know these guys are anxious to get back out and play well the next 2 days. We had a good practice session to tidy some things up and get ready to go tomorrow." - Coach Brennan Webb
