COLLEGE GROVE, Tenn. – Playing on one of the top courses in the country, Troy shot a 4-over 292 in Sunday's opening round of The Intercollegiate at The Grove to sit in a tie for second place overall. Will McFadden is the clubhouse leader for the Trojans in a tie for seventh place at 1-under.
Troy sits just eight shots back of No. 32 Tennessee on the team leaderboard. The Trojans are tied with Lamar while Lipscomb is three shots back in fourth and Middle Tennessee is four shots back in fifth.
McFadden carded a tournament-best five birdies in the opening round and is four shots back of Lamar's Hugo Hellman for the individual crown. Starting on No. 3, McFadden birdied three of his first seven holes but also picked up a pair of bogeys during that stretch.
Connor Futrell turned in another solid round with an even-par 72 thanks to three birdies and three bogeys – all on the front nine. Futrell is tied for 10th place following just his fourth non-under par round out of 10 this year.
"We played a course that has hosted Regionals and is a championship-level golf course," head coach Bart Barnes said. "Par is a good score at The Grove, and we got off to a good start. We just need to keep our blinders on tomorrow and play our game plan – hit a bunch of greens and be patient."
Troy's third player in the top 20 is Jake Tiffin at 1-over par with a pair of birdies to end the day tied for 16th place. Ryan Morrison fired a 4-over 76 with one birdie and is tied for 37th place, and Brent Hamm sits tied for 71st at 8-over.
