Men's golf team tied for fifth at Panther Invitational
The Eastern Florida State College men's golf team is tied for fifth place after the first round of the Panther Invitational at Duran Golf Club.
The Titans shot a 301 in the first round and are two strokes behind Florida Tech who is in fourth place. Barry University is leading the event, shooting even par 288 on Sunday.
Matt Gauntlett is tied for fourth place after shooting an even par 72 while teammates Brandon Boncore and Drew Lanier each shot a 74 to be tied for 10th overall. John Houchin is tied for 25th, shooting a 76, Murphy Allard shot a 79 and Robert Greninger had an 80.
"Good solid play by Matt and Drew. The course played stout as usual in the March winds," Eastern Florida State College men's golf coach Jamie Howell said. "We still look for more balance with our scoring as we have not had four solid scores since the fall."
The Eastern Florida State College B team is in 11th place overall.
The second round will tee off at 7:30 a.m. Monday morning at Duran Golf Club.
