GREENSBORO, NC - - Senior Brent Holmes of the University of Louisville men's golf team fired 71 to tie for eighth place after the first round of 2006 Bridgestone Golf Intercollegiate held at Forest Oaks Country Club just outside of Greensboro.
The first day of the 2006 Bridgestone Golf Intercollegiate was full of complications caused by the weather. The first thunderstorm delay of the day stopped play at 8:28 am after just five groups had left the clubhouse, three of the front nine and two on the back nine. Two hours later when play began again, tournament officials shotgun started the rest of the field in an effort to play the scheduled 36 holes.
However, after playing through remaining morning drizzle and blustery conditions throughout the afternoon, a second line of storms moved into the area just after 5 pm. That line haulted play for the day shortly after 6:30 pm, although players were on the verge of heading back out several times as storms came and went. With some teams only five holes into their second rounds, tournament officials decided to wipe out the second round scores and shorten the event to 36 holes. Teams will tee-off from Nos. 1 and 10 beginning at 8 am on Tuesday.
As a team, the Cardinals are in seventh place after shooting 298. Sophomore Daryl Fathauer shot 75 to place 29th, while freshman Adam Hadwin and sophomore Derek Fathauer are tied for 35th place with 76. Sophomore Adam Rainaud is tied for 43rd place with 77.
Forest Oaks Country Club is home to the PGA Tour's Chrysler Classic of Greensboro. The Bridgestone Golf Intercollegiate is one of two college tournaments played on courses regularly scheduled by the PGA Tour.
