WAIMEA, Hawaii \u2014\u00a0The No. 16 Texas Tech men’s golf team jumped out to a blistering start Thursday, shooting 21-under-par behind four subpar counting scores in the opening round at Mauna Lani’s North Course.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Red Raiders sit tied for fourth in the 20-team field.\u00a0Despite the strong start, the Red Raiders are\u00a011 shots back of first-round leader No. 5 Auburn.<\/p>\n
Texas Tech’s four counting scores came from Adam Bresnu<\/a> (7-under 65), Connor Graham<\/a> (6-under 66), Ben Gregg<\/a> (4-under 68) and Tim Wiedemeyer<\/a> (3-under 69), placing all four inside the top 30 individually among the 122-player field.<\/p>\n Bresnu leads the Red Raiders in a tie for ninth at 7-under and is four shots off the lead, held by Pepperdine’s Mahanth Chirravuri, who fired an 11-under 61. Graham is tied for 18th, one stroke behind Bresnu and five shots off the pace.<\/p>\n The first-round course average was 70.08, with 19 of the 20 teams finishing under par. Ideal island conditions \u2014 including minimal wind, sunshine and temperatures in the low 80s \u2014 contributed to low scoring, along with yardages set at 6,913 yards.<\/p>\n The second round will begin on Friday with a 7:30 a.m. HT (11:30 a.m. CT) shotgun start. The final round is set for Saturday.<\/p>\n Amer Ari Invitational (Rd. 1 Results) Red Raiders in the Field (Rd. 1 Results) \u2014 TECH\u00a0\u2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WAIMEA, Hawaii \u2014\u00a0The No. 16 Texas Tech men’s golf team jumped out to a blistering start Thursday, shooting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":154263,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[168,170,169],"class_list":["post-154262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lubbock","tag-lubbock","tag-lubbock-headlines","tag-lubbock-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
