SANTA CRUZ, Calif. – On a very challenging course against a top-flight field, Colorado State is ninth after the first round of the 74th Annual Western Intercollegiate Presented by Topgolf Monday. The three-day, 54-hole event, hosted by San Jose State University and televised nationally on the Golf Channel, is being played at Pasatiempo Golf Club (Par 70 – 6,615 yards) in Santa Cruz, Calif.
Â
In this historic tournament that is a unique play-six, count-five event, the Rams posted a 16-over 366 in the opening round. No team finished the first 18 holes under-par, with the top squad being No. 43 Washington at even-par 350, three shots ahead of California in second at 3-over-353. No. 7 Pepperdine is third at 4-over 354. Stanford is in fourth at 8-over 358, while San Jose State and BYU are tied for fifth at 11-over 361.
