GREENVILLE, S.C. – After nearly four weeks away from tournament action, the Davidson golf team returned to the course Friday at the Furman Intercollegiate where Todd Eckstein and Spencer Papciak led the way with opening-round scores of even-par 72.
The 54-hole/three-day event is being played on the Par 72, 6,994-yard Furman University Golf Course layout.
Eckstein, who entered with a team-best 73.42 stroke average, posted three birdies in his opening round and sits just five strokes off the individual lead, currently held by Nick Torrance (Jacksonville) and Brandon Roninson-Thompson (USC Aiken) at five-under.
As a team, the Wildcats posted a 300 and will enter tomorrow's second round just 10 shots out of the Top-5.
