McCumber started out well, carding three birdies in the first 12 holes. After a bogey on the 16th hole, he shot even par for the last two holes.
“Tyler has been playing great,” said head coach Buddy Alexander. “It is nice to see him winning in the tournament because he has made a lot of improvement from his freshman to sophomore year.”
Senior Bank Vongvanij (Bradenton, Fla.) and newcomer Michael Furci (Sayville, N.Y.) both shot even par on the day and are tied for 13th place on the individual leaderboard. Vongvanij came out strong recording two birdies in the first five holes, but his two bogeys in the last three holes dropped him back to even par. Furci also started with two birdies in the first five holes, but carded bogeys on holes eight and 11 and swapped a birdie and bogey on the 15th and 16th holes.
Redshirt senior Andres Echavarria (Medellin, Colombia) finished in a 34th-place tie after making a bogey and birdie in the first six holes, and following up with two bogeys on holes 12 and 13.
Sophomore Phillip Choi (Orlando, Fla.) finished the day with a double bogey, three bogeys and a birdie for a final score of 74.
“Today was a good day for us, but it is just one day,” said Alexander. “We are playing a great field and we have some great teams on our heels, so right now we are just focusing on tomorrow.”
The Gators return to the course Saturday morning for round two at 9 a.m. ET. Please visit www.GatorZone.com for updated results and www.golfstat.com for live scoring.
