Liberty more that half through first round and is only 2 strokes out of first place. Afternoon rotation that comprises the top 15 seeds is about to tee off off. Edit: LU records two double bogies just after posting.
Tied for 11th at plus 10 after day 1, And only 2 strokes out of 8th, which is the match play cut line. Kieran Vincent is just one stroke out of the lead for individual medalist.
UNF, who won the ASUN championship on what is essentially their home course, is dead last at plus 26.
I noticed in the pictures team posted on twitter that all the guys are wearing long sleeve tees under their shirts. These must be special uv fiber to keep them cooler and keep their arms being burned in the 100+ desert weather. I'm sure the training team is doing their thing to keep the guys hydrated and fit to play their best over these 4-6 days.

Ouch! Still have a chance to make tomorrow's cut as long as they go out in the morning wave and play well. Wind must have been brutal.
Weather is nice today and not too hot. That helps us. The morning groups are likely to have some low scores and create separation. If you looked at the individual scores yesterday, Austin Duncan, our #1 golfer started his back nine (holes 1-3) with. +5, +2, +2. 9 strokes over par in a few holes is not something you normally see on his scorecard, but it happened. I think we play loose today and shoot a score that gives us a chance to reach the top 15. IF that happens, we will need to go low and get a lot of help to jump in the top 8 tomorrow to qualify for match play.
Problem is, they reseeded so we did not flip back to morning wave. It will be extremely difficult to overcome the gap playing in the stronger afternoon wind. We would have had a decent chance if we had gone out this morning. I wonder if we went at too many of the risk/reward holes in the stronger wind yesterday.
We end up 26th and do not advance. I think the success our guys have had is tending to make expectations a bit too high. They have a lot to be proud of. My biggest disappointment is that after being 23 strokes up on them on day one, we ended up behind UNF.

Your right. We are who the rankings say we are. Look at the rakings vs. finish position for each team. Very little difference. Looks like Brigham Young got to log an early morning round. Their final round was posted early Sunday morning. They must have played both rounds Sat. to be able not to go go out Sunday. If so, note how low they scored (10 over) in that round. Those morning rounds scores were like gold.
The Robert Trent Jones golf trail has been a long time bucket list of mine to play, but the Flames have just burnt down one leg of it. Magnolia Grove Crossings Golf Course was the host for the ASUN golf championship and must have been set up for First Tee participants. The tournament scoring was unbelievable. The Flames finished the 3 round event at 53 under par! That was four strokes better than 42nd ranked UNF.
3 Flames finished top 5 with Jonathan Yaun as the individual medalist at -18 and most impressively only had 1 bogey recorded in 3 rounds. That is incredible golf!
In case you all missed it, Isaac Simmons qualified for the U.S. Open yesterday, along with Wake's Michael Brennan (also from Virginia). We're pretty sure it's the first time in about 25 years that any VSGA member has made it to the U.S. Open. Very cool to have two make it.
