DeLarrea Leads UT-Pan American After Day One of UTPA Golf Classic
WESLACO – Santiago DeLerrea shot back-to-back 73’s, tying him for 12th and helping the University of Texas-Pan American men’s golf team to seventh place after the first day of the UT-Pan American Golf Classic Monday at the Tierra Santa Golf Course.
There is a logjam at the top of the leader board after day one with just two strokes separating first from third place. Lamar leads the field after two rounds, turning in a combined team score of 574. One stroke behind Lamar is McNeese State at 575 while Stephen F. Austin is in third 576 total stokes. UTPA compiled a team total of 600 strokes. Other local schools at the tournament included UT-Brownsville/Texas Southmost College in a tie for eighth with a 607, while South Texas Community College turned in a two round total of 656 and is presently in 10th place.
Robby Going of McNeese State and Lance Dunaway of Stephen F. Austin State are the current individual leaders both shooting a 140. UTPA’s Santiago DeLarrea fired a pair of 73’s to find himself in a tie for 12th place. Todd Grubert shot a 79 and a 73 for a total score of 152. Also posting a 152 was Steven Slaughter who shot a 78 and a 74. Grubert and Slaughter are tied for 33rd. Jordan Bunte was one stroke behind his teammates with a score of 153. Bunte shot a 74 and a 79 and is currently in 37th place. Miguel De Los Santos compiled an opening day score of 156, which placed him in a tie for 44th.
Ryan Krisko of Abilene Christian stole the show however, when he aced hole number 4 during the second round of competition. Krisko is playing as an individual and is currently tied for 12th overall.
“The competition was stiff, but our boys put together the best two back to back rounds of the semester,” stated Head Coach John Garcia. “I am very proud of them, but as was demonstrated today we still have a very long way to go. The overall performance is yet to be seen, we still have 18 more holes to play. Santiago DeLarrea played very consistently by firing back to back 73’s. He is improving rapidly and will be a strong player for us in the spring.”
The final round of the UT-Pan American Golf Classic will take place Tuesday at the Tierra Santa Golf Club in Weslaco.
