CHAUTAUQUA, NY - Jamestown Community College sits 10th on the men's side after day one of the NJCAA Men's and Women's Golf Championship at Chautauqua Golf Club. The Jayhawks shot a 343, just three shots off of 7th place. The top score for the Jayhawks after day one was sophomore Brady Fye, who shot an 82. "It was a tough day. I didn't hit it great, but not too much damage. It is a long week, so I have plenty of time," said Fye.

Fye, who finished 19th overall last year, was followed up by teammates Jackson Sandhoff and Athanasios Bakas, who shot 84 and 86, respectively. "It was a little faster compared to the practice round. We will make some adjustments heading into day 2. It was not too bad. I left some shots out there, and I could have gone a little lower today, but I know where I went wrong and will be ready the rest of the week," said Sandhoff. "It was a bit rough. I started off with two doubles, but it was ok. If I can bring it back the next few days, we will be just fine," added Bakas.

Maxim Johnson and Spencer Bell rounded out the JCC five-man group, with each carding a 91.

The weather for the first 18 holes was pristine, but things are expected to change drastically over the next day or two. This could play in the favor of JCC and the rest of Region 3, who fought through a tough regular season of cold, wet, and windy days. "Thankfully, we have a lot of experience playing in the cold and rain and wind. I think the team will be ready. We know what is coming, and we will make the adjustments," mentioned Sandhoff. We were joking earlier today that we shoot our best scores in the rain. We played in it a lot this year," added Bakas.

As for advice, Fye said, "Just bring extra towels. That is about it."

Round two tees off at 9:00 AM Wednesday.
