Carlsbad, Calif. – In Round 1 of the 54-hole Gifford Collegiate Championship—the final tournament of the fall season—the Wisconsin men's golf team recorded a 10-over 294, netting the Badgers a 10th-place standing on the team leaderboard.
UW is two shots ahead of Tennessee (12-over, 296) in 11th and four strokes better than Big Ten foe Northwestern (+14, 298) in 12th. Stanford and Washington lead the tournament at a 1-over 285, while Oregon (+3, 287) and host UCLA (+3, 287) are two strokes behind in a tie for third.
Eddie Wajda III carried over his success from The Grove Intercollegiate, Oct. 25-27, with an even par 71, which included four birdies and bogies apiece. He is tied for 10th and four shots off the tournament leader, Cole Madey (-4, 67) of UCLA. Wajda's round was his best of the season, outdoing an even 72 from the Badgers' last event.
Badger coach Michael Burcin commented on round 1: "I thought we were very close to having a extremely good day today. We made a few big numbers late that turned today into just an ok day. Eddie again was very solid as he continues his good play. Important to get a good start tomorrow and be in position to win on Wednesday."
Wisconsin's second-best golfers were Ben Skogen and Matt Ross, as they notched 3-over 74s. The pair is tied for 35th.
Michael Abrahamson was just one stroke behind Skogen and Ross with a 4-over 75. He is knotted in 45th.
Jordan Hahn (79) went 8-over in Round 1, tying him for 76th.
The second round of the Gifford Collegiate Championship will tee of from La Costa Resort, Tuesday, while the tournament will wrap up with 18 hioles on Wednesday.
