Wyatt Leading, Huskers in Second after Round One at Fairway Club

At the conclusion of the first round of the Fairway Club Invitational on Monday afternoon, the Nebraska men's golf team is in second place with a team score of 282 (-6), three strokes behind the leader, Drake.

Andrew Wyatt led NU with a four-under-par 68, tying him for first place with Drake's Ben Freeman. The 68 matches Wyatt's career low, which he set last March at the Desert Shootout.

A total of four Huskers are among the top 10 in the 72-player field. Mike Coatman finished the first 18 holes with a 70, tying him for fourth place. Scott Willman and Brett Nymeyer shot 71 each, putting them in a tie for seventh place. Nymeyer is playing as an individual in his first career tournament as a Husker and does not count toward the Huskers' team score. Neil Dufford, also playing his first tournament for NU, is tied for 21st with a 73.

Conditions on the course were perfect throughout the morning, but the round still took around 5-1/2 hours to complete. Check Huskers.com Monday night for complete results for the first 36 holes.
