Lewis Leads Four Vols Individuals at Jim Rivers Intercollegiate
September 15, 2019 | Men's Golf
Redshirt freshman Bryce Lewis cards an opening round of 70(-2) and is just three strokes off the individual lead
Choudrant, La. -- University of Tennessee men's golfer Bryce Lewis led the way for the Vols in the opening round of the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate on Sunday.
Â
The Vols have four players in Louisiana playing as individuals with three of them being tied for 26th or better.
Â
After 18 holes of play, Lewis is in the running for the individual title as he is tied for seventh and just three strokes off the lead entering Monday.
Â
The redshirt freshman had a bogey on the opening hole of the tournament, but it would be his only blemish on the scorecard in round one. He immediately answered with back-to-back birdies to get himself under par where he would remain for the rest of the round.
Â
After parring the next six holes, he found his third birdie of the day on the par-5 11th to help him post a round of 70 (-2).
Â
Two Vols sit just outside of the top 25 on the leaderboard at 1-over-par. Redshirt freshman Jet Tickle and junior Chase Roswall nearly both shot even par in the first round.
Â
Tickle was hovering at 1-over for much of the round before a birdie on No. 17 brought him back to even. If not for a bogey on his final hole of the day, he would have been tied for 22nd.
Â
Roswall battled back on the back nine after hitting the turn at 3-over par. The Bristol, Tenn. native shot 2-under on the back with three birdies to finish just one stroke above par.
Â
The Vols tee off starting at 11:50 a.m. (ET) tomorrow morning with redshirt freshman Jake Hall (T44, +3).
