ORLANDO, Fla. -- - The Southern Miss men's golf team had a solid showing in its spring-opening tournament Monday, posting a 10-over par, 298 after first-day action at the UCF/Rio Pinar Intercollegiate at the Rio Pinar Country Club here in Orlando, Fla. The first 36 holes were not finished because of a one-hour frost delay in the morning. When play began the temperature was only 38 degrees and only warmed up to the low 50s, with winds gusting to 20 miles per hour put the wind chill in the low 40s.
The Golden Eagles are three-shots back of tournament-leader Memphis, who shot a +7, 295 on the day. Lamar University is in second place with a 296, while Ole Miss (297) and Louisville (297) are in a tie for third and Southern Miss (298) and UT-Arlington (298) round out the top five in a tie for fifth.
Junior Joel Myrick currently leads the Southern Miss contingent at par, 38-34--72 and ranks tied for third. Six players sit tied for 10th overall, including senior Justin Elliott (36-38--74) and freshman Jason Cuthbertson (38-36--74). Sophomore Kyle Ramey (47-41--78) and senior Danny Dennis (40-38--78) are tied for 51st overall.
Louisville's Derek Fathauer is the clubhouse leader with his 2-under 70, while Casey Clendenon of Lamar is second overall with a 1-under 71. Along with Myrick, Memphis' Robbie Greenwell, Louisville's Daryl Fathauer and Lamar's Andrew Landry are tied for third.
The field will complete the second round of the 18-team event, Tuesday morning at 8 a.m., before concluding the final round at Rio Pinar Country Club later.
