EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. – The Virginia men’s golf team is in third place after the opening round of play at The Hamptons Intercollegiate at Maidstone Golf Club in East Hampton, N.Y. The Cavaliers shot 7-over 295 and trail co-leaders Georgia Tech and Northwestern by four shots.
The second round of the tournament was also being contested Monday but was suspended due to darkness. Morning rain pushed back the tee times for the 12-team field.
It was UVA’s first tournament round of the season after its season-opener at the Scenic City Collegiate was canceled due to heavy rains.
Senior Sam Jung led UVA during the opening round by shooting even par 72. He was in fourth place after the first 18 holes. One shot behind him in sixth place was freshman Deven Patel who is making his collegiate debut. Sophomore Chris Fosdick shot 74 and is in 11th place while junior Pietro Bovari is 25th with a round of 76. Sophomore George Duangmanee is in 39th position after opening with a score of 78.
