Vaughan; first round 71.
“It was a good start for us,” said WWU coach Steve Card. “Everybody played well. We had some disappointing holes, but overall everyone played solid golf today. Maybe not scoring-wise, but this was one of the better days we’ve had this year.”
Leading the Vikings overnight were Sandy Vaughan and Craig Crawford who both posted one-under 71s on the 7,092-yard course and who were tied for 14th going into today's second round. Dylan Goodwin's even-par 72 could have been better after he birdied four of his first nine holes and made the turn in 3-under 33, but an inward 39 saw him fall back into a tie for 24th. Jake Webb had a 73 and Nick Varelia, the Great Northwest Atletic Conference Player of the Year, a slightly disappointing 76.
Central Oklahoma’s Josh Creel led the medalist standings after a seven-under 65.
Update: WWU posted a three-over 291 in this morning's second round with Goodwin and Varelia each shooting 71. Vaughan had a 73, Crawford a 76 and Webb a 77. The team is currently tied for fifth on two-over 578.
Update 2: At the end of the second day's play, WWU is in seventh place, 12 strokes behind leader Chico State.
