“We mustered out a decent score when we played sloppy,” head coach Joe Jensen said. “We’ve got two more days, and we’ve got two more good rounds that we can put together. Firstly, we’ll focus on putting together a solid second round.”

Davis Seybert, who’s participating as an individual, led the way for the Cowboys with his best round as a collegiate golfer. He fired a 67 (-5) that was littered with seven birdies, which puts him in a tie for sixth.

“That’s a great round for Davis,” Jensen said. “He’s wanting to get into the lineup, and this is a good start. I want to see how he does with pressure and expectations. But it’s good for Davis. I’m proud of him.”

Damon Vilkauskas leads Wyoming regarding the team score. He carded a 70 (-2) that saw him bridie three of his final four holes, which positions him in a tie for 18th.

Ethan Smith, who’s also playing as an individual, recorded a 70 (-2), as well. He managed five birdies with a bogey and a double bogey.

Kristof Panke rallied for a 72 (E) and owns a share of 36th place. He holed five birdies with three bogeys and a double bogey.
