MEMPHIS, TN- The Millsaps Majors currently sit ninth after the first round of the Rhodes Invitational at Mirimichi Golf Club. 

Battling tough conditions all round, the Majors find themselves in ninth but just a handful of shots out of the top-five. 

"The most difficult conditions we have faced all year," head coach Brad Johnson said after the round.

"Wind blowing consistently around 20 mph all day, make scoring very tough."

Ryan Henry posted an opening round 79 (38-41) to lead the Majors and place 18th overall after the first round. Cody Davis and Tyler Kastner each carded an 82 for the Majors while Thomas Baxter and Ryan Martin shot 85 and 86, respectfully. 

"We look to make a big jump in round two," Johnson said. "We have a much better feel for the course and I think we can make a move."

Conditions don't look great for Monday, with temperatures in the low 60s with rain in the forecast. The wind will be much calmer with a slight breeze in the forecast.
