Smith's 71 Paces Hilltoppers Before Play Suspended in Texas

March 14, 2017

IRVING, Texas — Blake Smith’s even-par 71 set the tone for the WKU men’s golf team Tuesday before play was suspended in the first round of the Bob Sitton Invitational.

The sophomore Smith carded four birdies on the opening day of the event hosted by Oral Roberts at the par-71, 6,733-yard TPC Four Seasons. He’s tied for 12th individually based on current scores.

WKU finished its round before play was suspended for darkness with a 5-over team total of 289. That was good enough for fifth in the deep 22-team field at the time play was halted.
