SEA ISLAND, Ga. \u2013 Cameron Tankersley<\/a> and Cohen Trolio<\/a> both delivered opening round 6-under 64 performances as the No. 12 Ole Miss men’s golf team leads after round one at the SEC Championship. The Rebels posted (265, -15) with four players finishing under-par on the day.<\/p>\n

The opening-round of 265 is the second lowest opening round in SEC Championship history and the fourth lowest round score ever at the championship.<\/p>\n

Tankersley would birdie four of his first six holes, making the turn at 4-under. He would get to 6-under through 12 and added his seventh circle to the card at the par-5 seventh. After dropping a shot at the par-4 eighth, Tankersley would bounce back with a closing par to cap off the round of 64. The performance was a team best 10th round in the 60s this season and his 15th under-par round on the year.<\/p>\n

Cohen Trolio’s<\/a> 6-under day marked his 14th round in red figures and seventh in the 60s. Trolio made the turn at 2-under and caught fire with the flatstick over the final nine. He would close with bogey-free 4-under to shoot 31 coming in.<\/p>\n

Tankersley and Trolio are tied for second heading into round two.<\/p>\n

Tom Fischer<\/a> carded his seventh straight under-par round on Monday, shooting 2-under 68. After an over-par start, Fischer calmy strung together three consecutive birdies to finish in red numbers. The Birmingham, Alabama native now has 23 rounds of even\/below par, 20 rounds in red figures and 10 rounds in the 60s this season, all team bests.<\/p>\n

Daniel Tolf<\/a> shot 1-under 69 in his championship debut and Collins Trolio<\/a> finished at 3-over 73.<\/p>\n

Ole Miss led the field in par-3 scoring and birdies on the day.<\/p>\n
