The MUS varsity golf team has completed their first round in state-tournament action at the Old Fort Golf Course in Murfreesboro as they are currently in fifth place overall, just six shots out of the second spot.
The Owls shot a team total 296 during the first day, led by sophomore Drew Frisby's 1-under, 71. Senior Daniel Brown also had a good round, shooting par-72. Other Owl finishers included senior Dev Varma's 75, freshman Wilson Orr's 78, and junior Paul Billings's 80.
State-power Baylor is dominating the tournament, leading by fifteen shots after round one as Red Raiders are claiming three of the top four individual spots. Frisby is currently tied for sixth overall with his 71.
Though a state title may be out of reach, the Owls can claim a runner-up spot with five good individual rounds tomorrow (only the top four rounds are counted). They will look to accomplish that feat as the final round begins at 8:00 a.m.
