PALM DESERT, Calif. – Through one round of play at the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate in Palm Springs, California, Stephen F.

SFA, the lone representative from the Southland Conference in the 23-team event field, began the three-day, 54-hole tournament with its lone senior shooting an even par Friday. The Hewitt, Texas, native is seeking his first top-20 finish of the season and is one of 32 golfers who shot par or better in the opening round of the event.

The 'Jacks got opening round scores of 5-over 77 from freshman Steven Fabik (Carrollton, Texas) and 8-over 80 from both freshman Andy Lopez (Dallas, Texas) and junior Angelo Leyvani (San Antonio, Texas) in their first tournament of 2018 and first competition in over three months. In just his second event this season and first not competing as an individual, junior Jake Hendrix (Austin, Texas) registered a 10-over 82 in the first round.

Featuring six teams ranked in the top 50 nationally by Golfstat.com, three of which are among the top 25 teams in the nation, the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate saw three programs shoot under par in the first round.
