LEWISBURG, Pa. – Robbie Herzig is tied for fourth on the individual leaderboard and Colgate is tied for fourth as a team after Friday's opening round of the Patriot League championship at the Bucknell Golf Club.
COACH KIRCHER'S COMMENTS
"Solid start today. We played smart, and didn't record a double on the card across all six guys, which is an improvement on what we've been talking about the last month. Robbie did what he does best and posted a good under par round. Brayden really bounced back and got us two late birdies to keep us within striking distance. Course sets up well for the Raiders."
