Golfstat Live Results

MONARCH BEACH, Calif. - Behind individual leader Felix Schrott, the CSUN men's golf team leads the Vanharte Orange County Collegiate after one round as day one was suspended due to darkness Monday at Monarch Beach Golf Links.

The Matadors opened with a 7-under 273 to lead a pair of teams (Cal State Fullerton, Sacramento State) by four shots after 18 holes. The second round was suspended with CSUN among several teams with one or two holes remaining. A total of 10 teams are competing.

Schrott fired a blistering round of 6-under 64 in the morning round which included seven birdies, 10 pars, and a single bogey. Schrott was as low as 7-under after 15 holes before finishing par-bogey-par to finish the round at 6-under. His round was his second round of 64 this season and second in his last five rounds dating back to last fall.

CSUN SCORES

Brandon McDonough also had a solid first round, posting a 2-under 68 to tie for seventh. McDonough had four birdies and 12 pars, along with a pair of bogeys, in his round.
Thomas Burou made it three CSUN players in the top-20 after 18 holes after carding an even-par 70. Burou had four birdies in round one.
Felix Schrott had a pair of birdies but also five bogeys in a round of 3-over 75 which left him in a tie for 52nd after 18 holes.
Antoine Sale and Eirik Thomassen are both just outside the top-20, as each is currently tied for 26th at 1-over 71.
Liam Judkins and Dillon Jonke, competing as individuals, sit 34th and 50th respectively. Judkins opened with a 2-over 72 to match his 18-hole low this season while Jonke is tied for 50th at 4-over 74.

ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JIM BRACKEN
"We played good golf the last two rounds in Palm Desert and we played well in the first round today. Felix shot 64, he's been hitting the ball really well and was able to make some putts today. He's doing a good job of staying in the present and playing good golf. We'll finish up round two tomorrow morning and hopefully have a good final round. We're tied with Cal State Fullerton and will be paired head-to-head with them tomorrow so it will be a good challenge."

The Matadors will be paired with the Titans, UC Irvine, and British Columbia Utah Tech for Tuesday's final round.
