04.29.18 | Men's Golf
CALLAWASSIE ISLAND, S.C. – Garrett Wood is tied for fifth, pacing the men's golf team after the first round of the 2018 BIG EAST Championship on Sunday afternoon.
XU is just four strokes back of third place, while Wood is the same distance back of the top spot after earning All-BIG EAST First Team honors on Friday.
Wood finished the first round shooting a 73, one stroke above par, with four of Xavier's seven birdies. Wood was 1-over on the front nine after a blistering start saw him go 3-under through six holes only to run into a triple bogey on the par-4, 462 yard seventh hole. He recovered, however, finishing the front 1-over and recording one birdie on the back nine for an even 36.
The freshman leads the competition in par 5 scoring, averaging a 4.25 (-3).
Martin Jaramillo entered the clubhouse with a 76 (+4) after 18 holes. Jaramillo finished day one in a four-way tie for 17th. The freshman earned a team-high 12 pars on the first day.
Fox Morrissey finished tying for 23rd, shooting a total of 80 (+8).
Eduardo Rivera finished in 43rd, ending the day with an 87 (+15). Rivera had the second-best par 3 average, carding a 2.75.
