St. Simons Island, Ga. – Connor Gaunt's 5-under 65 on day one of the SEC Championship at the Sea Island Golf Club – Seaside Course – got the LSU men's golf team started on the right foot on Wednesday. The Tigers carded a 1-over 281 team score to position themselves in a tie for fourth place after day one of the event.
Gaunt's round was superb in many ways; his score to par (-5) matched his lowest single round total in relation to par in an LSU uniform, his six birdies were the second most of his LSU career in a single round, and the 65 was the lowest number shot by an LSU golfer at Seaside since 2014.
