2011 John Burns Intercollegiate
Complete Results: Day 1 
KAHUKU, O’ahu — The University of New Mexico men’s golf team finds itself 15 strokes off the lead, shooting a 10-over-par 298 during the first round of competition at the John Burns Intercollegiate, played at Turtle Bay Resort’s Palmer Course Wednesday.
The Lobos are in 11th place, two strokes behind both Arizona and Denver and a tie for ninth place. New Mexico leads host Hawaii by a single stroke heading into Thursday’s second-round.
Leading the way for the Lobos is senior Tom Carlson, who carded a 1-over 73 to finish the day in an eight-way tie for 23rd. Carlson is only five strokes off the lead, a 4-under 68 shared by Texas A&M’s Conrad Schindler and Cal’s Max Homa.
For Carlson to notch his third straight top-10 finish and fifth in seven tournaments, he needs to make up only two strokes. There are eight golfers tied for eighth place at 1-under.
Sophomore Ryan Gay is tied for 32nd with a 2-over 74. Gay was at 2-under though the first 10 holes, but suffered a bogey on 11 and two double-bogeys on 13 and 18 to close the round.
The par-4 11th hole proved to be snake bit for the most of the rest of the Lobos as well. Senior Travis Ross was at 1-over entering the 11th, but walked away with a double-bogey 6 and closed his round at 3-over, tied for 36th.
Fellow senior Sam Chavez also got tripped up with a double bogey at the 11th, finishing his round at 6-over and in a tie for 71st.
Carlson and sophomore John Catlin were the only two Lobos to escape 11 with pars. Catlin finished at 4-over and tied for 46th.
Turtle Bay’s Arnold Palmer and George Fazio courses host the John Burns. Both are par-72 courses, with the Palmer 7,218 yards and the Fazio running 6,535.
The Lobos start Thursday’s second round at 11:20 MST, with Sam Chavez teeing off first, followed by John Catlin (11:30), Travis Ross (11:40), Ryan Gay (11:50) and Tom Carlson (noon).
