First Round Results

AIKEN, S.C. - The Maryland men's golf team opened its spring season Monday at the 15th Annual Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate at Palmetto Golf Club. The Terps fired an opening-round 302 to place them in 13th heading into the second round on Tuesday. Senior Joey Rice led the Terps with a 4-over 74.

"We struggled a bit in the opening round and we were careless around the greens," said Director of Intercollegiate Golf Jason Rodenhaver. "In a field of this caliber every shot is precious. Our effort was there and I see us bouncing back in the second round."

Rice paced the Terps with a 37 on the front nine and a 37 on the back nine. The Dunkirk, Md., native currently sits in a tie for 26th.

Sophomore Will Wiseman is one stroke behind Rice. Wiseman opened the day with a team-low round of 36 on the front nine. He finished the day with 5-over 75 and is tied for 20th.

Sophomore Sean Bosdosh and freshman Ben Warnquist finished tied for 52nd and 59th, respectively. Freshman Jordan Sweet opened with a 38 on the front nine and sits in a tie for 73rd.
