The Bryant Bulldogs men’s golf team is in third place and just five shots back after round one of the Northeast Conference Championships at Penn National Golf Club.
The Bulldogs fired a 17-over 305 on the first day, and sit behind Long Island and Fairleigh Dickinson, who is in first.
“Today I thought Tyler Hahn hit the ball extremely well and stuck. To his game plan. Nick Piersall hung in there and played solid. I thought the team played very well on the front today. Unfortunately, We let it slip a little on the back we made too many mental mistakes..we will regroup and have a good game. Plan for tomorrow’s round,” said Head Coach Charlie Blanchard after the first round.
Hahn posted a two-over 74 on the first day, which puts him in fifth place.
Meanwhile, Nick Piersall posted a three-over 75 and is in sixth.
As a team, Bryant made 11 birdies in the first round.
