MESA, Ariz. - The South Dakota State men's golf team is five shots off the lead after the opening round of the Summit League Championships at Longbow Golf Club.
The Jackrabbits are in a three-way tie for fifth with St. Thomas and Omaha, all with 289 (-5) team scorecards. South Dakota finished the day even par and has a two-shot lead at the top over North Dakota State. Denver and Kansas City are tied for third at +4.
SDSU's Jake Olson, Jacob Wilson and Drew Teeter are tied for 12th place on the individual leaderboard, along with five others. That group posted 72 (+1) score for the first of three rounds. Olson posted six birdies on the day, matching the high for all players. Tyler Seeling is one shot back (73, +2) and tied for 20th place while Bryson Mercier is one more stroke off at +3 and tied for 24th place. Seeling and Teeter each eagled on hole 15.
On the individual leaderboard, South Dakota's Parker Etzel is part of a four-way tie for the lead after firing a 68 (-3). The junior's joined atop the standings by North Dakota State's Andrew Ballou, Denver's Jet Hernandez and St. Thomas' Owen Rexing.
