HUMBLE, Texas — Rice carded a two-over par 290 to sit in sixth-place at the season-opening All-American Intercollegiate, played at the par-72, 7,096-yard Golf Club of Houston.
The Owls are just one stroke back of fifth-place Louisiana-Monroe. Sam Houston State leads the tournament at 11-under par, one stroke in front of No. 8 Wake Forest and Louisiana-Lafayette.
Sophomore Campbell Gibson fired at two-under par 70, tying his career-low round to sit in a 12th-place tie. The 70 was his first round of par or better this year and the second of his career.
After playing the front nine in two-over par, junior Jake Benson played the back nine in three-under par to shoot a one-under par 71 and sit in a tie for 19th-place. He has nine rounds of par or better this year and the 32nd of his career.
Senior Nicholas Duggan, playing as an individual, is tied for 23rd-place at even par after posting a 72. It is his fifth round of par or better this year and the 25th of his career. Junior Rishi Kejriwal is tied for 35th-place after carding a two-over par 74 and freshman Thomas Bockholt III posted a three-over 75 to sit in a 48th-place tie.
Freshman Forrest Park, playing in his first career collegiate tournament, is tied for 64th-place after carding five-over par 77 and sophomore Austin Escamilla posted an eight-over par 80 to sit in a tie for 75th-place.
Wake Forest's Mark Power leads the individual tournament at six-under par, one stroke in front of UTSA's Christian Fanfelle and Sam Houston State's Ting-Wei Hsieh

"The golf course was set up really awesome. The greens were really fast. It's not the same golf course that we're used to playing in practice. So I was really proud of the way our guys handled that. We definitely didn't play our best golf today but we held it together, which was nice. It was nice to see a couple of really solid rounds from Jake (Benson) and Campbell (Gibson). I think the other guys are going to step it up tomorrow too. It's fun to get off to a decent start."
NEXT UP
The second round begins tomorrow at 8 a.m. with Rice teeing off at 8:45 a.m. Rice is paired with student-athletes from Louisiana-Monroe and UTSA and will tee off from the first hole.
