PEBBLE BEACH, CALIF. -- TCU senior Paul Barjon shot an opening round 71 and is in fifth place to lead the Horned Frogs after one round at the Carmel Cup at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
Barjon, a native of Antibes, France, shot one under par on the day. He carded six birdies on the day with three in the final six holes of his round to lead the Horned Frogs, who are currently tied for seventh place in the event. Every team in the field is either ranked or receiving votes in the Bushnell Golfweek Preseason Coaches Poll, including the Horned Frogs -- who were second among those receiving votes in the poll. No. 11 Vanderbilt and No. 12 Georgia lead the pack of four ranked teams in the field.
Freshman Pierre Mazier, playing his first collegiate round, posted a 73 to finish one-over-par. He shot even par on the back nine after posting a birdie on two of the final three holes of his round. Guiulio Catagnara and Sarosh Adi shot five-over-par 77 and Chelso Barrett carded a 79. Turner MacLean posted an opening round 82 in his first collegiate tournament.
The event continues on Saturday with MacLean being the first Horned Frog to tee off at 7:10 a.m. PT.
Historic Pebble Beach, the site of six major championships, most recently hosted the U.S. Open in 2010. The championship will return in 2019 to the course that has seen such major champions as Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Tom Kite and Tom Watson.
Last season at the Carmel Cup, Andrew Presley fired a final-round 69 to help lead the TCU men's golf team to a third-place finish at the event. Presley was making his TCU debut after spending the previous three seasons at LSU. Barrett returns to the event after finishing 15th last year in the event. The Horned Frogs won the event in 2012 with Julien Brun taking home individual honors. It was the fourth of nine career tournament top honors for Brun during his TCU career.
