OWINGS MILLS, MD. – The University of Alabama is ahead of the nation’s No. 1 ranked team and among a three-way tie at 21st with Kentucky and Arizona State at 11 over par after Wednesday’s first round of the 2005 NCAA Men’s Golf Championships. The championships, held at the par 70 Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, began Wednesday and continue through Saturday. Thirty teams are competing for the national title. After 54 holes, a cut will be made with the low 15 teams and six individuals advancing for a final round on Saturday.
Alabama shot 291 in the opening round, leading off the tournament as the first group to tee off.
“I thought we played well, we just got a little sloppy coming in,” said Alabama golf coach Jay Seawell. “It’s a difficult golf course. And we learned a valuable lesson, too, in that we were playing well and we took our eyes off the ball and made a few bogeys coming in. However I think we can correct these mistakes and have a better day tomorrow.”
Alabama is competing with five golfers who are making their first appearance at nationals, but Seawell says he was pleased with the way his team responded, despite the pressures of competing in this event where a national title is on the line.
“This is the first NCAA experience for all five of our golfers, and I thought we handled that aspect very well, and that’s exciting because that means they believe we belong. And we do belong,” said Seawell.
Georgia leads the field after the first 18 holes of play, firing a six under par 274. The Bulldogs lead fellow Southeastern Conference member Tennessee by five strokes as the Vols are in second at 279, one under par. Arizona is third (282), followed by UNLV and Coastal Carolina (284), Brigham Young (285), Georgia Southern and Augusta State (286), SMU, Georgia State and Wake Forest (287), Duke, Georgia Tech and Arkansas (288), Florida, New Mexico and Washington (289), San Diego State, Southern California and Tulsa (290), Alabama, Kentucky and Arizona State (291), top-ranked Oklahoma State (292), Stanford and Texas A&M (296), Texas (298), Purdue and UCLA (299) and Missouri (300).
Two men share the individual lead at five under par. Georgia’s Kevin Kisner and Augusta State’s Major Manning both shot 65 to lead the field of 150 golfers. They are among the 20 individuals who opened play with under par rounds. A dozen more shot even par, including Alabama’s Mark Harrell. Harrell shot 70 and is among a tie at 21st.
Alabama’s four other golfers opened play over par. Clint Provost is T-71s at three over (73). Joseph Sykora and Gator Todd are among a tie at 87th at four over (74), and Thomas Hagler is in a tie at 107th after shooting 75 which is five over par.
Because Alabama had the early tee time on Wednesday, its golfers get the afternoon round for Thursday’s second round play. Alabama will tee off at 11 a.m. CT from the No. 10 tee box on Thursday, playing the round again with their first round pairings, Arkansas and Brigham Young.
Following are results, by team, after Wednesday’s 1st round of the 2005 NCAA Division 1 Men’s Golf Championships:
