GREENVILLE, S.C. - Marshall senior Logan Lagodich (Canton, Ohio) led a field of 115 individuals at the Furman Intercollegiate, tying for first after shooting a career-low 67 in the first round at Furman University Golf Course on Friday.
Lagodich tied his career low for the second time this season, last shooting a 5-under-par 67 in the final round of the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational on Sept. 15, 2015. He and Andrew Novak of Wofford sit in first place, one stroke ahead of George Baylis of Akron.
The Herd is seven strokes out of first place, in a tie for 10th with Gardner-Webb at 3-over 291.
ON THE LEADERBOARD
Harvard is the team leader at 4-under 284, one stroke ahead of Georgia State.
GABBING WITH GROBE
Quotes from head coach Matt Grobe:
On Logan Lagodich:
"Logan played a great round of golf today. It was one of the best ball-striking rounds I have ever seen. He was in complete control of his game today."
On the first round:
"The team got off to a great start but as the winds picked up later in the round we lost a couple strokes. We are only seven strokes out of the lead so hopefully we get off to a good start again tomorrow and finish strong."
