SILVER LAKE, Ohio – The Western Michigan golf team sits in fourth place after the opening round of the 2017 Mid-American Conference Championships at Silver Lake Country Club on Friday.
WMU's five golfers combined to shoot 309, sitting five strokes back of Ohio and Northern Illinois for second place. Host Kent State leads the tournament with a total of 289.
"Today we left a few too many shots on the golf course," said head coach Elise Swartout-Mosher. "We got a little ahead of ourselves instead of staying more present. The good news is we have 36 holes of golf left and the team is excited to get back out there tomorrow.
