WINDERMERE, Florida - The North Texas men's golf team opened competition at the Tavistock Collegiate Invitational, hosted by the University of Central Florida, Sunday at Isleworth Golf & Country Club in Windermere, Florida. The No. 35 (according to Golfstat) Mean Green saw some success in round one, beginning the tournament in 13th place at +15. Senior Cory Churchman led the way for North Texas, shooting a strong, one-over-par 73 Sunday.
"We had a great start today," head coach Brad Stracke said Sunday. "We are looking forward to playing the last 36 holes Monday and Tuesday. "Cory was steady today and I know this team will continue to play solid over the course of the next 36 holes."
Churchman currently sits in a tie for 26th place after his +1 performance Sunday, seeing some success with three birdies, including back-to-back birdies on the 12th and 13th holes. His sophomore teammate Ian Snyman, who entered play as the 67th ranked player in Golfstat's top 250, finished round one at three-over-par, after firing a 75.
North Texas is back in action on Monday morning, teeing off in round two at 8:15 a.m. CT, as they look to make a push up the leaderboard.
