Zags Tied for First after First Round

Oct. 24, 2016

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- The Gonzaga men's golf team is in a tie for first place after the first round of the Saint Mary's Invitational. The Zags were six-over (290) on Day 1 at the Poppy Hills Golf Course.

Gonzaga sits even with Fresno State atop the team leaderboard, six strokes ahead of four teams, including the hosts Saint Mary's.

Tyler Munetake led the Bulldogs through the first 18 holes of the three-day tournament. The sophomore carded a 71 (E) in the opening round. He is two strokes off of first place after making 13 pars and a trio of birdies in Round 1. Munetake was two-under on the front-nine.

Just a stroke behind, David Ganz is tied for sixth at one-over (72). He was one-under on the front-nine and also made 13 pars. Ryan Gaske is tied for 13th after a 73 (+2) in Monday. The senior bounced back after going three-over on the front-nine, by going one-under on the back.

Ben DuBois is tied for 22nd at three-over (74). He made four birdies in the first round. Angus Montgomery ended Round 1 with a 75 (+4). He was three-over on the front-nine and one-over on the back.

"The green complexes at Poppy Hills are very challenging and the guys did a great job of handling it," GU Head Coach Robert Gray said. "We had consistent scores across the board today and I'm proud of the way the guys fought for every shot. We've got two more rounds to go and we'll keep the same approach. Pin locations will probably get harder so the lines we take and the positions we look to put the ball will become even more critical."

Saint Mary's Eduardo Carrete and Tim Widing of San Francisco are both tied at the top of the leaderboard at two-under (69).

Montgomery opens the second round for the Zags at 9:20 a.m. Live scoring is available on GoZags.com.
