Huskers in Sixth After First Round of Bill Ross Intercollegiate

Kansas City, Mo. – Scott Willman shot a 1-over 73 at Blue Hills Country Club on Monday to lead the Huskers to a first round total of 301 at the UMKC Bill Ross Intercollegiate. Nebraska currently sits in sixth place out of 14 teams, and finds itself 10 shots off the pace set by tournament host UMKC.

In addition to Willman’s round of 73, sophomore Neil Dufford added a 74 to the NU total. Willman is tied for ninth overall and Dufford is tied for 12th.
