Steady Play Has Ducks in Fifth at Stanford
03/28/19 | Men's Golf
STANFORD, Calif. – Oregon got steady play across the board to shoot 7 over and be in a tie for fifth place after round one of The Goodwin Thursday at Stanford Golf Course. Ryan Gronlund led the way once again for the Ducks, shooting an even-par 70, while the players who's scores counted combined to make just one double bogey.
How it Happened: Gronlund got off to a great start following his first career win two days ago with a birdie to open the day at the par-4 10th. He bogeyed 11 but got the shot back at the par-5 16th with a birdie to get to 1 under. Gronlund got to 2 under after a birdie at the difficult par-4 second, but made bogeys at holes four and six to finish the day even par.
Kevin Geniza grinded out a 2-over 37 on the back nine to start his day, making three bogeys and a birdie. He birdied the par-5 first hole, but gave the shot back on hole two with a bogey. Geniza closed strong though, making a birdie at the par-4 ninth hole to finish with a 1-over 71.
Yin Ho Yue went 2 over through four holes, but bounced back with a birdie at the par-3 14th and made the turn at 1 over. A birdie at the first hole got him to even, but a double bogey on the par-4 second put him back at 2 over. Yue also closed with a birdie at the ninth to finish with a 71 and in a tie for 25th.
Washington holds the first-round lead at 2 under while three players are tied for the individual lead at 3 under.
