HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Sophomore Benjamin Fernandez (Asuncion, Paraguay) shot a five-under 67 to lead Southern Miss in the opening round of the Dorado Beach Collegiate Sunday at Dorado, Puerto Rico.

It was one of three-below par rounds for the Golden Eagles as senior Ryan Dupuy (Baton Rouge, La.) added a 69, for a 10th-place tie, while freshman Matthew Javier (Toronto, Ontario) posted a one-under 71 to tie for 28th.
