FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU's Paul Barjon leads the Horned Frogs contingent following the opening round of play at the Kingsmill Intercollegiate, hosted by William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Barjon shot an opening round score of 71 and is just four strokes behind the top of the leaderboard and Penn State's Charles Huntzinger.
Facing horrible conditions on the opening day of play that included cold and sleet along the East Coast, the Frogs are tied for 10th place in the large field but are just eight strokes out of second place and 11 strokes out of first place following the opening 18 holes of play.
With multiple players out with injury or participating in international competition this week, the Frogs had all five countable players post a 76 or better with Barjon leading the pack yet again. Giulio Castagnara is tied for 23rd after he posted an opening round 72 to shoot two-over par. Ryan Books, Pierre Mazier and Triston Fisher all shot 76 in their opening round of play in the fierce conditions.
It is the 39th year of the event, including 35th year at Kingsmill Resort and 34th on the River Course. The course has been a longtime host of the PGA and LPGA tours and is the current host to the LPGA Kingsmill Open. The field for the 2016 event includes Appalachian State, Binghamton, Dayton, Delaware, Drake, Eastern Kentucky, High Point, IPFW, Longwood, Loyola (Md.), Maryland, Ohio, Old Dominion, Penn State, Radford, St. Francis (Pa.), St. Joseph's, Seton Hall, Temple, Tennessee, TCU, Towson, host William & Mary and Youngstown State.
The event is one of three tournaments remaining before the Big 12 Conference Championships begin, TCU's first tournament of the year played in the state of Texas. TCU is seeking its 27th consecutive NCAA Regionals appearance this spring.
