The Jewell Day 1 Results

The Wright State golf team is the only group under par after the first day of competition at The Jewell, with the Raiders posting a nine-under 275 team score heading into Tuesday's action.

The 275 team score sets a new tournament record at The Jewell, with Wright State's total surpassing the previous best team round in the event, a 278, set by the Raiders back in the 2015 edition of the tournament.

As a team, Wright State was seven-under on par fours and four-under on par five holes while tallying 60 pars and 18 birdies, leading the field in all four categories.

The Raiders have four players under par individually, paced by Mikkel Mathiesen's six-under 65 to sit atop the leaderboard. Mathiesen finished one shot off the tournament's low round record of 64, set by a pair of players, including former Raider Ryan Wenzler in 2015. Mathiesen tallied six birdies and had a bogey-free round on Monday on the way to his 65.

Cameron Willis is tied for second after Monday's round, carding a four-under 67 after tallying six birdies of his own. Davis Root is in fourth following a three-under round of 68 with three birdies on the back nine, and Austin Schoonmaker is tied for sixth after a one-under 70. Cole Corder rounded out the Raider quartet in the top 10 with his one-over 72, sitting in a tie for ninth entering the final round.

Tyler Goecke is two-over and tied for 13th following his round of 73, while Bryce Haney carded a 75 and is tied for 24th following his four-over round.

The Raiders will tee off in the final round on Tuesday morning at 9:10 a.m. from the first tee.
