Tech's team score placed them in a tie for sixth place, along with Oregon, out of the 14 teams in action; both teams sit one shot back of Duke for the fifth and final advancing spot with two rounds remaining.
Junior Calum Scott and senior Baard Skogen led Tech's round-one effort, as both Red Raiders finished the day inside the top 10 on the individual leaderboard. Scott used four birdies to card a 2-under-par 70 and is tied for fourth, while Skogen finished a solid day at 1-under-par 71 and is tied for ninth.?There are 75 total players in the field.
Rounding out Tech's scoring in the first round was Matthew Comegys, who contributed a 3-over-par 75, as well as seniors Tyran Snyders and Vicente Marzilio, who both finished the day 4-over-par (76).
The Red Raiders return to the links Tuesday for round two of the 54-hole regional, with Marzilio scheduled to open Tech's second round at 8:30 a.m. CT. The Red Raiders will start round two off on hole No. 10 with tee times between 8:30 and 9:14 a.m.
