The first round of the NCAA championships at Grayhawk Golf Club didn't exactly start the way Arizona State coach Matt Thurmond had hoped. All five Sun Devils settled for a bogey on the par-4, 430-yard, No. 1 hole.
Fortunately for the host school things got better. The Sun Devils finished with a first round total of 4-over 284, good enough for seventh place in the 30-team field and eight strokes behind leader Texas Tech which managed 4-under 276.
There will be a cut to 15 teams after Sunday's third round.
"We've been waiting two years for those five straight bogeys," Thurmond laughed.
