After day one of the Division II-AA state golf tournament, held at the WillowBrook Golf Course in Manchester, the varsity golf team is currently tied for fifth place, twenty-seven strokes behind McCallie.
Sophomore Zachary Olsen had the squad's best round of the day, shooting 75 (+3), as he is currently tied for eleventh overall, seven strokes off the lead, held by Patrick Clossin of McCallie.
Other MUS scores include junior Daniel McLeod's 80 (+8), eighth-grader Hays Moreland's 81 (+9), senior Clifton Jordan's 82 (+10), and sophomore Jake Rudesill's 84 (+12).
The Owls are tied with defending-champion Brentwood Academy at 318 as only a team's top-four scores count. Baylor currently resides in second place at 302, eleven shots behind McCallie. Briarcrest is third (303), and Ensworth is fourth (314).
Despite the tough first day, Olsen is confident that the Owls will play better tomorrow.
"It was a really rough day for the team, but we are all looking for a really strong finish. We are going to battle tomorrow and try to bring home some hardware," said Olsen.
The Owls tee off tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. Good luck to Coach Frisby and the team.
