LAKE WORTH, Fla. – Archer Price shot a 4-under-par 67, and the Georgia Southern men's golf team is in sixth place after the first round of the FAU Slomin Autism Invitational Friday at the Fountains Country Club North Course.
Price is tied for third after shooting the lowest round of his career. Jonas Vaisanen fired a 69 and is tied for 10th, while Henry Mabbett tallied a 74. Steven Fisk and Jake Storey each carded a 75.
Georgia Southern (+2) is three strokes back of Bethune-Cookman (-2) and tournament host Florida Atlantic, which are tied for fourth. Connecticut (-8) leads the tournament, and Ole Miss (-3) and Florida Gulf Coast are tied for second.
The story
Price turned in a bogey-free card with a team-leading four birdies. The sophomore made the turn 1-under-par after posting a birdie on hole 7 and added birdies on holes 12, 14 and 17. Vaisanen had three birdies and one bogey in his round. The sophomore played the front nine even and posted birdies on holes 11 and 16 on the back. Mabbett logged three birdies but was hurt by a couple double bogeys in his round.
Quotables from coach Carter Collins
"Archer and Jonas led us with good rounds, but it was more of managing our games that we didn't have our best stuff today. We were close to putting together a very solid round, but we had a few too many big numbers today. Luckily, this format is 18 per day instead of 36/18 so we can regroup, work on what we need and get back after it tomorrow morning."
Next up for the Eagles
Round two is set for tomorrow, and the Eagles will tee off at hole 1 at 9:15 a.m. Georgia Southern is paired with Connecticut and Toledo.
