Little Rock, Ark. - The University of Missouri shot a team round of 298 (10-over par) Thursday in the 1st round of the 27-team NCAA Central Regional, which opened today at Pleasant Valley Country Club in Little Rock, Ark., and continues with 18 holes on Friday and Saturday. Missouri's score left the Tigers tied for 15th after day one. Making its first team appearance at regionals since 1995, the Tigers are just five shots out of 10th place, which is the cutoff point for advancing to the NCAA Championships, set for May 29-June 1 in Columbus, Ohio.
Missouri was one of the first teams to tee off on Thursday, with a 7:15 a.m. tee time, and the Tigers got off to a good start. Sophomore Brandon Knaub birdied three of his first four holes, and stood three-under par through seven holes of play. He bogeyed four of the next seven holes, but still came in with a solid one-over par 73, which puts him in a tie for 33rd individually.
Senior Mark McBride enjoyed a steady opening round, as two birdies, one bogey and 15 pars left him at one-under par 71, which tied him for 13th after day one. McBride, the two-time defending Missouri State Amateur Champion, was even after recording a two at the par-three 5th hole and bogeying the par-four 12th. He birdied the par-five 18th to come in one-under.
Junior Cory Ewert shot an opening-round 76 on Thursday, and stands tied for 67th overall, while fellow junior Chris Happ made the tour in 78 strokes, and is tied for 96th. Freshman Ben Scott shot a 10-over par 82 and is tied for 126th. As a team, Missouri was at even par through nine holes, before going 10-over on the back nine.
