Kansas sophomore Tyler Docking shot a 64, placing him in a three-way tie for first with Leon and Augusta State’s Emmett Turner, at the end of the first round. The round score of 64 that Docking carded, ties for the second-lowest round in Kansas golf history.

As for the other Jayhawks, senior Kevin Ward finished the round with score of 68, senior Andrew Price finished one stroke behind Ward with a score of 69, senior Pete Krsnich fired a 71 and sophomore Gary Woodland rounded out the Jayhawks with a total score of 73.

The Jayhawks are ahead of some of the premier golfing programs in the country, including Arizona State, UCLA and Stanford.
