COACH'S COMMENT: "This was our first round on a new course, but the guys kept their focus and were seeing some positive results," Calvin men's golf head coach
Brian Bolt said. "One stroke out of first place after day one is a good place to be. Tomorrow we'll have to dial it in."
NEXT UP: Calvin men's golf will play the second and final round of the Irish Hills Invitational tomorrow (Friday, September 16) at Tecumseh Golf Club.
