Men's Golf

Men's Golf Begins Play at NCAA Norman Regional

Four Broncs each shoot 76 Monday

NORMAN, OK – All four scoring Broncs – Connor Bekefi (Toms River, NJ/Toms River North), Austin Devereux (Brielle, NJ/Manasquan), Louie Giovacchini (Windermere, FL/Windermere) and Rick van der Nat (Noordwijk, The Netherlands/Visser 't Hooft) shot four-over 76 and the Rider University men's golf team sits 12th of 13 teams following the opening round at the NCAA Norman Regional Monday at OU Jimmie Austin Golf Club. The Broncs shot 304 (+16) for the day.

Jack Urban (Upper St. Clair, PA/Upper St. Clair) also carded an eight-over 80 to round out the Broncs' competitors on the day.

Host and nationally-ranked No. 1 Oklahoma leads the team scoring through 18 holes with a 277 (-11), a stroke ahead of No. 24 South Carolina (278, -10). No. 18 Auburn and No. 50 Utah are next at 280 (-8), ahead of No. 7 Texas (282, -6), No. 25 Ole Miss (287, -1), No. 48 San Diego State (290, +2), No. 37 Missouri (294, +6), UT Martin (296, +8), No. 36 Louisville (297, +9) and Kansas State (302, +14). The Broncs (304, +16) are currently ahead of Kent State (307, +19).

QUOTES & NOTES
"It wasn't like we were intimidated or overwhelmed by the fact that we are at regionals. We were ready and just didn't play well. The course played tougher throughout the day and we just couldn't get anything going. We got our fair share of bad breaks, but also just hit some bad shots."

"We've been playing great in practice so it's obviously disappointing. We know that we can compete out here."

"The wind is supposed to get nasty the next two days and we love that. We'll regroup and look to make a move tomorrow." – Rider Head Coach Jason Barry

- The Broncs are playing in their first-ever NCAA Regionals as a team, a year after Devereux, the 2021 MAAC Individual Champion, earned an automatic individual berth to play at the NCAA Kingston Springs Regional.  
- Rider did its best work on the Par 3's, shooting five over as a team, good for a tie for fifth-best team score on the day.
- Rider also had the fifth-most par's on the day (55), but carded the fewest birdies (7).
- Urban had a team-high three birdies on the day, while Devereux had two. Bekefi and van der Nat had one apiece.

UP NEXT
The Broncs return to action tomorrow morning for the second of three rounds at the NCAA Normal Regional.
