The goal for the men's golf team is to be in the hunt after round 1, say top 10. Their history at NCAAs recently (except for 2019) has been to shoot themselves out of contention right from the start.

The team is in the middle of the front 9. No one going low, but no one blowing up either. Everyone has at least 1 birdie on the card. They need to get through the 7th hole without too much damage. It's a converted par 5 playing as a par 4 and is the 2nd hardest hole on the course. The hardest is 18, another converted par 5 playing as a par 4.

The team leaders after the morning round are Georgia Tech at even par and Pepperdine and Arkansas at +1. Given that the golf course usually plays faster and harder in the afternoon when the wind picks up and the greens dry out, team scores around par should be pretty competitive.

As I type this, Stanford is at -1. You can follow the scoring here - https://results.golfstat.com/public/lead...&tid=26002
