EATONTON, Georgia – Troy carded 20 birdies as a team led by five each from Mac Murphy, Dean Martin and Calum Masters in Sunday's opening round of the Linger Longer Invitational at the Grand Waters Golf Course. The Trojans are tied for 13th place overall but find themselves just nine shots out of sixth place.
Coming off his best event of the season two weeks ago at Auburn, Murphy paced the Trojans with an even-par 72 on Sunday. He made the turn 1-under thanks to a trio of birdies and added two more on the back nine, but back-to-back bogeys to end the day pushed his card back even; he is tied for 30th place.
