PHOENIX – With three months of rest and preparation in hand, the Aggies burst out of the gate in their first event of the spring season. Across the first 36 holes, NM State shot 17-under par (559) to find itself with an eight-stroke cushion heading into the final round of the GCU Invitational at Grand Canyon University Golf Course in Phoenix.
In the morning, the Aggies posted a 280 (-9) to close the first 18 holes three shots clear of the next closest team. That lead only grew in the second half of the day when the Aggies shot 281 (-8) to post one of just two scores better than four under for the second round.
