ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – WKU Men's Golf recorded one of its lowest 18-hole scores of the season in Thursday's opening round of the Sea Palms Invitational hosted by Western Carolina after shooting even-par 284 as a team. The Hilltoppers were led in scoring, once again, by sophomore Luke Fuller.
Mount Sterling, Ky., native Fuller shot a 3-under 68 in the first round at the par-72, 6,608-yard Sea Palms Golf Course. The sophomore tallied four birdies and just one bogey in the first 18 holes of the tournament. It ties his career best of 3-under 69 that he shot just a few weeks ago at the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate. He is tied for sixth headed into Friday's round.
Just behind Fuller is senior Caleb O'Toole. The co-captain is tied for 21st at even-par 71. He carded 13 pars on the day and is two shots out of the top 15 in the field. Joining O'Toole in the top-30 individually is freshman Connery Meyer. The Georgia native shot 1-over 72 on Thursday and is tied for 27th.
Redshirt senior Tom Bevington finished at 2-over 73 while graduate senior Christian Tooley carded a 3-over 74. They are tied for 36th and 46th, respectively.
As a team, WKU is sixth, just six shots outside the top three and nine shots off team-leader Kennesaw State. The Tops will tee off for the second round on Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. CT as a fivesome once again.
