Day 1 Recap
The Grand Canyon men's golf team opened the spring season in the John A. Burns Intercollegiate on the Oceans Course at Hokuala on Thursday, carding a team score of 7 under par to tie for eight place out of 21 teams.
The tournament was scheduled for 54 holes, with rounds on Friday and Saturday. Due to inclement weather in the Lihue, Kaua'i, area, the second round began Thursday and will resume Friday =at 11:30 a.m. (Phoenix time).
GCU ended the first round in a tie for 12th place before it jumped four spots to tie for eighth with Santa Clara when second-round play stopped. BYU leads the tournament at 23 under par, followed by No. 19 Arizona in second at 22 under and New Mexico in third at 14 under.
Leading the Lopes is Reddig, who is tied for 14th at 5 under par. Reddig shot 5 under in the first round to be just one of 10 players in the 126-player field that shot 67 or less in the opening round. Reddig is even par in the second round, looking to capitalize on his seven birdies in the first round.
Behind him for the Lopes is Braley, who is tied for 22nd at 3 under. Braley bounced back from a rough start, as he opened the first seven holes at 5 over before going 5 under in the final 11 holes, highlighted by an eagle on No. 2. Since his bogey on hole No. 16 – his sixth hole played of the day – Braley has only bogeyed once and has registered seven birdies or better for the tournament.
