LECANTO, Fla. - Temple senior Brandon Matthews showed his All-American form Sunday, carding a three-under 69 to tie for the lead following the first round at the American Athletic Conference Championship at Black Diamond Ranch.
Matthews, who finished in the Top 10 at The American Championship as a sophomore (t-4th), is looking to cap a brilliant Temple career that includes a school-record-tying eight individual titles. He is tied with East Carolina's Wesley Cooper. Three golfers are one stroke back and tied for third.
"Brandon played a solid round of golf and has put himself in a good positon,' said Temple head coach Brian Quinn.
