PINE MT, GA- The Millsaps Majors battled a tough course and tough conditions in Saturday's opening round of the Callaway Gardens Intercollegiate and find themselves 14th after a combined score of 321. 

Cody Davis shot a six-over 78 to lead the Majors on Saturday. Davis mixed in three birdies with five bogeys and two doubles en route to the 78. Ryan Henry was a shot back of Davis with a 79 while Ryan Martin' s 81 and Drew Richardson's 83 were the posted scored on Saturday. 

"The scores were all hard fought today," coach Brad Johnson said. "This is the former golf course of the PGA tour Buick Open, so we knew it'd be a tough challenge."

The Majors' score of 321 puts them right in the hunt for a strong showing with good scores tomorrow. Millsaps finds themselves just behind fellow SAA members Sewanee and Rhodes and south region members Huntingdon, Christopher Newport and Maryville. Coach Johnson expects big things tomorrow from his five golfers. 

"This is our first year at this tournament, so the greens were  unfamiliar and the unknown grass conditions created some challenges," Johnson said. " I expect better rounds tomorrow as we get more familiar with the course."

The Majors will have another 18 holes to move up the leaderboard both individually and as a team. Davis and Henry can post a top-30 performance individually with good rounds on Sunday.
