LA QUINTA, Calif. - The CSUN Men's Golf team opened the Big West Championship in sixth place after posting a nine-over 297 Sunday at La Quinta Country Club.
After one round, the Matadors trail fifth-place Cal State Fullerton (295) by two shots and fourth-place Cal Poly (293) by four. UC Davis leads the team competition at 283 as the Aggies carry a six stroke lead over second place Long Beach State (289) with UC Irvine (290) third.
On a day when only seven golfers in the 45-player field finished under par, the Matadors were led by Eirik Thomassen who is tied for 11th at one-over par 73.Â
Â
Thomassen, who had three birdies on the day, was three-over after his opening five holes. A birdie at No. 7 dropped him to two-over where he remained until another birdie at No. 11 moved him to one-over. Thomassen finished even-par over his final seven holes to finish up at one-over 73.
CSUNÂ SCORES
COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"This course is definitely challenging and a good test. It's not a course where the scores are going to be really low. We didn't hit the ball horribly today but we never really got anything going. Hopefully we can get off to a good start tomorrow and get under par and this team has the firepower to do that."
The Matadors will be paired with Cal Poly and Cal State Fullerton again for round two which gets underway Monday at 11:15 a.m.
