TEXARKANA, Ark. -- Fresh off of capturing the Greenbrier Invite two weeks ago, red-hot ODU freshman Nick Rencis fired a three-unnder 69 on day one of the Conference USA Championships in Texarkana, Arkansas to move into second place out of 65 golfers. The Monarchs are currently in third place out of 13 teams.
No. 38 UAB leads the team race after round one, while Louisiana Tech is just one stroke behind in second. North Texas, Marshall and Old Dominion are tied for third, as each team shot a 292.
Individually, UAB's Taylor Eyster shot an eight-under 64 to jump out to an early lead.
