Matadors 11th After Opening-Round at Air Force Invitational
9/10/2021 8:58:00 PM | Men's Golf
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. - Blake Brothers picked up where he left off in 2020, firing a round of three-under 69 on the first day of the 52nd annual Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational Friday at the Academy's Eisenhower Blue Course.
Brothers began the opening round on the No. 10 tee and posted three birdies over his opening nine holes to make the turn at one-under. After a pair of bogeys on the front nine, Brothers limited the damage to a single bogey while adding three birdies on the back nine to finish at three-under. Brothers heads into Saturday's second round three shots off the lead held by Denver's Jackson Solem.
UC Davis leads the team competition at (-9) 279 with San Jose State (283) second followed by Denver (286) and Wyoming (289). CSUN is currently 11th in the 21-team field at (+10) 298.
CSUNÂ SCORES
COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"This was our first round of the first tournament of the year, we certainly could have played better. Blake played well and Felix hit 16 of 18 greens but just couldn't sink a putt. Hopefully the guys have a better feel for the course tomorrow and we will definitely improve from today."
CSUN will tee off round two Saturday morning beginning at 9:40 off the No. 1 tee. The Matadors will be paired with Northern Iowa, Utah Valley and SIU-Edwardsville for the second round.
