COLLEGE GROVE, Tenn. – Playing through tough conditions, Hilltopper Golf is currently sixth in the 14-team field after the first round of Middle Tennessee's Intercollegiate at The Grove.
WKU opened the three-day tournament on Sunday at The Grove Club (par-72, 7,368-yard). The squad finished 10-over 298 on the day, only four strokes out of third. The Tops are also only two shots behind defending, back-to-back Conference USA Champions, MTSU.

Redshirt senior Linus Lo and true junior Chase Landrum followed Poole in scoring in the first round. Both Hilltoppers shot 3-over on the day. Landrum birdied three of his last seven holes to bounce back and shoot 75.
