Charlotte, NC -- North Greenville University leads the team standings after the first day of the seventh annual J. Ralph Hargett Memorial Intercollegiate Men’s Golf Tournament Monday at the Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation. North Greenville shot a 304 on day one, leading the 10-team field by three strokes. The Rams of Winston-Salem State currently sit in 10^th place after first-round action.

Catawba College is in second place with a first-day 307. Brevard College, Belmont Abbey College’s B team and Lincoln Memorial University are tied for third at 312. The Wingate University Blue (B) team is seventh with a 317. The Wingate Gold team (A team) is one stroke back in eighth place with a 318 while the Rams sit in 10^th with a first-day aggregate total of 397.

North Greenville senior Cole West (Greer, S.C.) and Charlotte sophomore Stefan Wiedergruen (Waiblingen, Germany) share the individual lead, as both players shot a one-over-par 73 on the 6965-yard, par-72 Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation layout. Wiedergruen is one of four Charlotte 49ers playing as individuals in the Hargett event.

Wingate sophomore Shane Dyer (Watertown, N.Y.) is one of six players tied for third with a 74. Dyer carded a 38 on the front nine and an even-par 36 on the back nine Monday. Bulldog junior Jaymes Nowicki (Rochester, N.Y.) and sophomore Chet DeLong (Madison, Ohio) are two of four golfers tied for 10th place with first-day totals of 76.

The remainder of the team leader board includes sixth-place Tri-County (S.C.) Technical College (315), ninth-place Mars Hill College (325) and 10th place Winston-Salem State University (397).

The Rams most impressive performance of the day once again belonged to Joshua Vogler. Vogler shot a team-best 78 on the day as he turned in a first-day round of six over par. Vogler’s 78 earns him a 16^th place ranking headed into Tuesday’s final round of play.

The Rams’ Jerell Fields shot a first-round 91 while Steven Mason turned in a 94 on the first day of play as the Rams had three players record rounds less than 100.
