PALM DESERT, Calif. - Sophomore Nick Fowlkes fired his low round of the spring and is in fourth place after the opening day of the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate Wednesday at The Classic Club.
Facing difficult conditions, Fowlkes posted three birdies along with 14 pars and one bogey in round one and at 2-under 70 he heads into Thursday's second round just four shots off the lead. Fowlkes was 1-over after 10 pars and one bogey over his opening 11 holes. He then made birdie on three of his final six holes, along with three pars, to close his round of 70.
As a team, the Matadors opened with a round of 6-over 294 and are currently tied for seventh with UC Santa Barbara. Fresno State fired a team round of 2-under 286 and carried a three-shot lead over Colorado and Utah into round two. Sacramento State's Riley Bell carded a 5-under 67 on Wednesday and has a two-shot lead after 18 holes.

COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"With the weather we faced today, we were just happy to get the round in. Unfortunately, we didn't get a fourth score which doesn't happen to this team all that often. But Nick played well and we have three players in the top-20 so we'll bounce back and put a solid round together tomorrow."
The Matadors will be paired with UC Santa Barbara, Hawai'i and Sacramento State for the second round which is scheduled to get underway Thursday morning at 7:20 a.m.
