DiTullio gives 4-over par first round
effort
UCLA senior golfer Brandon DiTullio, who is competing as an
individual in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships at Grand
National Lake Course in Opelika, Ala., shot a 4-over par 76
Wednesday morning in the first round of the championships. The
Bruins as a team did not qualify, and DiTullio is UCLA’s lone
entry.
“It was a frustrating first round today,” he said in
a statement. “I didn’t hit it as well as I have been
hitting it.”
“It was kind of funny because I had a great warm-up
session right before I teed off,” he added.
He pointed out that other golfers are not performing to the best
of their abilities, either.
“The scores are not that low. As of right now about half
the scores are in and they are a little higher than I thought
they’d be,” he said.
At the end of round one David Gossett from Texas led the field
with a 9-under par 63.
DiTullio tees off at 1:50 p.m. today for the second round of the
championships, and he is optimistic.
“The mind-set for (today) is just to go out and stick with
what got me here,” he said.
