LAS VEGAS -- Texas sophomore Dylan Frittelli shot a 1-under 71 and freshman Cody Gribble carded an even-par 72 to pace the Longhorns Friday in round one of the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters at the 7,510-yard Southern Highlands Golf Club.
Texas shot a 9-over 297 in round one and ended the day in sixth place, only five shots behind 18-hole leader Florida. UCLA is in second at 6-over par, and Texas A&M is in third at 7-over par. Host UNLV and USC are tied for fourth at 8-over par. Florida's Tyson Alexander and TCU's Johan de Beer share the 18-hole individual lead at 4-under par.
Frittelli (Pretoria, South Africa) played spotless golf from start-to-finish in round one, as he birdied the sixth hole and sank pars at the other 17 holes. Frittelli is tied for seventh place at 1-under heading into Saturday's second round. Gribble (Dallas, Texas) scattered three birdied and three bogeys to finish at even-par on the day. Gribble is tied for 10th through 18 holes.
Junior Bobby Hudson (Memphis, Tenn.) finished with a 2-over 74 in round one and sank one birdie on the day. Hudson is tied for 16th place heading into round two. Senior Charlie Holland (Dallas, Texas) ended the day tied for 65th place after carding an 8-over 80, and senior Lance Lopez (Missouri City, Texas) finished with a 9-over 81 to end round one in a tie for 68th place. Freshman Johnathan Schnitzer (Houston, Texas), playing as an individual, is tied for 73rd place after shooting a 10-over 82 in round one.
Texas opens round two at the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters on Saturday at 8 a.m. local time (10 a.m. Central).
POST-ROUND COMMENTS
Texas head coach John Fields
"We left some shots on the course. Dylan Frittelli, Cody Gribble and Bobby Hudson had some awfully good scores, and, unfortunately, Charlie Holland and Lance Lopez didn't have their best stuff. It was tough for us to have to take (count) a bigger score, and we have not had to do that. But, the nice thing is we are still in the hunt. We haven't played the best golf we can play, and we're fired up about tomorrow."
