NORMAN, Okla. - North Texas sophomore Vicente Marzilio began play in the NCAA Norman Regional on Monday, shooting a 3-over 75 to enter Tuesday's second round in a tie for 45th with 36 holes remaining. The top individual not on one of the advancing teams will advance to the NCAA Championship in Scottsdale, Arizona, on May 27-June 1.
Marzilio was 1-under at the turn before four bogeys on the back-nine. He birdied the third, fifth and eighth holes.
"We left a few shots out there today, but we have two more days to make a run," UNT head coach Brad Stracke said. "Tomorrow, it's supposed to be very windy, and I believe Vicente will move up the leaderboard."
The Argentina native earned an at-large bid and entered the tournament as the second-seeded individual after earning an automatic bid last year as a freshman after claiming the Conference USA individual championship.
"Today started great and the round was off to a good start, and those were good feelings," Marzilio said. "Those are the feelings I'm keeping from today to tomorrow. The second nine got me a little bit more, and I need to stay more patient in those moments tomorrow to have the best chance on the third day. There's definitely a lot of work to be done, but today was close to being a great day. Tomorrow could be better."
Marzilio will tee off at 10:01 a.m., on Tuesday, and will be paired with Middle Tennessee's Nick Wolf and Kent State's Chris Vandette.
