SIMPSONVILLE, Ky. (5/13/19) – Making its first appearance in the NCAA Championships since 2002, the 35th-ranked Arkansas State men’s golf team shot a first-round 295 Monday at the Louisville Regional to place it 10th among the 13-team field that features five top-25 ranked teams.
The Red Wolves quickly found themselves near the bottom of the standings to begin the day at the University of Louisville Golf Club, but climbed back to as high as sixth-place late before their five-man lineup stumbled on the final hole to drop the squad back to 10th place.
“We started playing better after a slow start, and it looked like we were going to settle into our round, but then we didn’t finish very well,” said A-State head coach Mike Hagen.
