URBANA, Illinois – A strong finish to the day helped Long Beach State Men’s Golf climb into a tie for fifth place overall at the Urbana Regional after the first round of competition at Atkins Golf Club.
Day One Results
“It was a tough start for the guys today. We started on the back nine and that has some really challenging holes to start the day,” said head coach Rob Murray. “The guys battled hard and showed fight to grind out a +1. This golf course gives you nothing. It’s long and you have to ball strike your way around this place.”
Senior Charlie Forster had four birdies on Holes 1 through 9 to climb into the Top 10, finishing two-under par with a 69, leading the way for Long Beach State. Alejandro de Castro Piera also finished under par at 70 in a tie for 15th after the first 18 holes of action.
Senior Clay Seeber shot 35 on the final nine holes on the way to a 73, while a roller-coaster day for junior Jack Cantlay also ended in a 73 as the pair tied for 33rd overall. Krishnav Chopraa had the day’s drop score with a 76.
In all, Long Beach State had four players par or better in the second half of the day Monday, helping the Beach climb into a tie for fifth place overall after the first 18, sharing fifth with Marquette. Hosts Illinois lead the tournament, while Texas Tech, UNLV and Troy all finished the day in front of the Beach and the Golden Eagles.
The Top 5 teams at the conclusion of Wednesday’s third round will advance to the NCAA Championship, held in Carlsbad, Calif, starting on May 23. Follow all of Tuesday’s action at https://scoreboard.clippd.com/tournaments/236559/scoring/team.
