NOTRE DAME, Ind. – Led by freshman Matt McCarty's 1-under 69, Santa Clara men's golf entered the clubhouse after the first round of the 15-team Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic in a tie for seventh with a team score of 291. Round two of the three-day event takes place Monday morning on the 6,713-yard, par-70 Warren Golf Course.
"This is the first time we've seen this course and we're hoping to improve over the next two days," head coach Rob Miller said. "We're in good shape to move up."
The Broncos are tied with San Diego and Butler, 11 shots behind first-round leader Eastern Michigan, which scored an even-par 280 on the opening 18 holes.
