LA QUINTA – With junior Jack Jarvis (above) and freshman Rafael Bobo-Lloret tied for eighth place, four Mustangs sit inside the top 15 players on the Big West Championship leaderboard with the Cal Poly men’s golf program second overall following Sunday’s opening round.
At the 7,056-yard, par-72 La Quinta Country Club, Jarvis and Bobo-Lloret fired dual even-par 72s and enter Monday’s second round five strokes behind Long Beach State’s Steen Zeman. Jarvis enjoyed two birdies as did Bobo-Lloret – who also eagled the par-five, 516-yard fifth hole.
Graduate student Kyle Dougherty (two birdies) and sophomore Nolan Kuszyk (three) are a shot behind in 14th place after carding one-over 73s.
Freshman Zihao Wang, meanwhile, produced five birdies, but sits in 22nd after recording a two-over 74.
As a team, Cal Poly’s opening two-over 290 has the Mustangs one shot ahead of UC San Diego and UC Davis, but 14 back of three-time defending champion Long Beach State.
Round No. 2 of the Big West Championship begins at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 4.
