RICHARDSON GOES LOW AT MIRIMICHI

MILLINGTON, TN- The Millsaps Majors men's golf team is fourth at turn following a round one team score of 321. 

"This golf course is a tough layout. There is not a lot of room for error out here, especially when the greens are this firm," coach Eddie Brescher said after the round.  " The wind was a factor on the first twelve holes of the round but died down toward the end of today."

Drew Richardson (pictured) shot an opening round 75 to lead the Majors and is second place heading into the final round. 

"Drew has been a steady performer for us since October," Brescher said.  " He has four top fifteens in his last five events for us and he continued his great play today by posting 75. We anticipate him to keep his good play going through tomorrow."

Richardson was joined by Lewis Peters who shot an 81, Thomas Baxter an 82, Ryan Henry fired an 83 as did Chris Patton. Cody Davis also shot an 83 and is playing as an individual, his scores will not contribute to the Millsaps' team score. 

"Even with windy conditions on this golf course, we have no excuse for the way we played today," Brescher said.  "We simply did not perform to our capabilities today.  Our team is much better than the way we played today and we all know that."

Monday's conditions call for overcast skies and 62 degrees. Coach Brescher and the Majors expect low scores on day two. 

"We have a chance to bounce back tomorrow and we will do just that. We may be down but not out of this tournament," Brescher said. "Although, we need to play good tomorrow to catch the leaders, we have the capabilities of chasing them down over the next round."
