TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Ben Carr led the Georgia Southern men's golf team with a 71, and the Eagles are tied for 10th after the opening round of the Seminole Intercollegiate Friday at Golden Eagle Country Club.
The field features eight top-50 teams, according to Golfstat, including No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 14 Duke and No. 17 Florida State. The host Seminoles (-11) lead the field by four stokes over Liberty (-7), and Oklahoma State (-5) is in third.
Georgia Southern (+7), which entered the weekend ranked 45th by Golfstat, is tied for 10th with Duke, and the pair is six strokes back of Oklahoma (+1) and NC State, which are tied for fifth.
Mason Williams shot 73 for the Eagles, Avery Price posted a 75, and Brett Barron and Jake Maples carded a 76. Colin Bowles, who is playing as an individual this weekend, shot a 75.
The Eagles teed off on the 10th hole, and Carr posted three birdies on the back to shoot 34 on the side. Williams posted a 35 on the back with birdies on 10 and 12, while Barron opened the day with eight straight pars before making birdie on 18, 3 and 4. Georgia Southern struggled a bit coming in as Eagle counters combined to finish the last four holes 4-over.
