South/South Central Super Regional

DUNCAN, OK – Montana State-Billings golfer Nick Larson sits in a tie for twentieth place after the opening round of the NCAA South Central Regional on Monday at the Territory Golf Club.  Larson shot an opening round 75 on the 7,077-yard, par-72 course.

"I felt I played solid," said Larson.  "I had a couple holes where I missed the fairway.  On those particular holes it's tough to play from off fairway.  Other than that I thought I was solid.  After the round I looked at the standings and I was tied for 20th and seven strokes back from the leader.  My thought is, I have two more days and I'm only seven back.  I've put myself in position to make a move in the second round.  I reflected on some putts that I missed because of bad reads, and I hit a few shots on the range. I feel good about going out (Tuesday) and shooting and good round."

Larson started the day with a bogey on the par-4 first hole.  The sophomore from Riverton, Wyo., bounced back quickly with an eagle on the par-5 second.  He finished the front nine with five pars, a double-bogey, and a bogey for a 2-over 38. 

After a par on the tenth hole, Larson birdied No. 11 to get back to one-over.  He recorded pars on the next five holes before finally bogeying 17 and 18. 

Curtis Harris of Abilene Christian and Mike Wog of Western New Mexico are tied with Larson at 3-over after the first round.  The overall lead after the first 18 holes belongs to Mitch Boles of Central Oklahoma and Brad Risenhoover of Northeastern State.  Both shot opening-round 68s. 

The tournament continues on Tuesday and Wednesday.  The winner of each regional tournament and the top individual not on the winning team within the super regional will advance to the NCAA Division II National Championships May 15-19, in Daniels, W.Va. Three additional teams with the next lowest scores in the combined Super Regional field will also receive at-large berths to the national tournament.
