Tale of Two Rounds For Mean Green To Open Spring
1/27/2020 8:23:00 PM | Men's Golf
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. – The North Texas men's golf team played 36 holes at the Southwestern Invitational on Monday to open up the spring season at North Ranch Country Club and saw a tale of two rounds as the Mean Green were in sixth place in a field peppered with ranked teams after Round 1 but saw their fortunes turn in the second round of the day.
The Mean Green are in 11th place after completing Round 2 before it was suspended due to darkness with half of the field still on the course. North Texas shot a 295 in the opening round of the day before a 313 in the evening round.
Junior Viktor Forslund led the way for North Texas after a two-under 70 in the first round. He is tied for 33rd place at 5-over par after the first two rounds.
"I'm proud of how the guys played the first round at a new venue," UNT head coach Brad Stracke said. "Usually, you expect to play better the second round of a 36-hole day. I'm going to talk to the team and get ready for the last round."
The tournament will conclude Tuesday with the completion of the second round beginning at 9:20 a.m., and the final round is slated to begin just before noon.
