BRADENTON, Fla. - The TCU men's golf team opened play at the NCAA Championship on Friday at The Concession Golf Club, going 8-over to sit in 11th place overall.
The Horned Frogs carded an 8-over round of 296 and are just four strokes out of fifth position. The top 15 teams following 54 holes will advance to Monday's final round of stroke play. The top eight teams from that round will advance to match play.
Senior Andrew Presley and junior Paul Barjon led TCU on the first trip through the course with 1-over rounds of 73. Presley enjoyed a solid back nine in his second appearance at the NCAA Championship, rolling in birdies on the par-4 2nd and par-4 fifth.
Barjon, also playing in his second NCAA Championship, put together a consistent round with two bogeys and a birdie on the third-to-last hole of the afternoon.
Senior Julien Brun carded a 2-over 74 and led the Frogs with five birdies on the day. The Antibes, France, native was able to overcome a quadruple bogey on the front nine by going 1-under on the final nine holes.
Sophomores Chelso Barrett (+4) and Giulio Castagnara (+9) rounded out the scoring for TCU.
