OPELIKA, Ala. – WKU Men's Golf finished the first round of Auburn's Tiger Invitational and was partially through the second before play was suspended due to darkness. The remainder of the second round as well as the final round will be completed in some combination on Monday and Tuesday.
Through round one, the Hilltoppers are in 15th at the par-72, 7,289-yard Grand National Lake Course. The team shot 15-over 303 in the first round and was only nine shots back from the top 10 teams.
Freshman Riley Grindstaff had the low round of the day at 3-over 75. He carded pars on his first 10 holes and logged two birdies on the back nine.
WKU went on to count three 4-over 76's to finish out the team scorecard. Fifth-year senior Caleb O'Toole recorded a 3-over front nine and a 1-over back nine to make up the score.
Sophomore Connery Meyer strung together two birdies and five pars in the middle of his round and junior Luke Fuller finished his back nine at just 1-over with two birdies.
Fifth-year senior Jack Poole had an 8-over 80 in the opening round of the Tiger Invitational.
