Freshmen T.J. Vogel and Martin Trainer finished tied for seventh and 10th, respectively, to lead the No. 15 USC men's golf team into a tie for fourth after the first round of the 2010 Southern Highlands Collegiate Maters in Las Vegas on Friday (March 12).
USC finished the first round at 8-over 296, four back of first-place Florida (292) while UCLA is second (294) and Texas A&M is third (295).
Vogel, who was second last week at the USC Collegiate Invitational, fired a 1-under 71. He was 3-under through five holes but 2-over after nine. He responded on the back nine by going 3-under on three birdies to finish three strokes off the lead.
Trainer had a much less eventful round, carding par on the front and back nines with a bogey and birdie on each to finish at par 72. He leads the Trojans with a team-best four top 21 finishes.
Freshman Stewart Hagestad tied for 25th at 3-over 75. He finished with four birdies and was even on the back 9. Sophomore Steve Lim tied for 53rd at 6-over 78 while junior Matt Giles tied for 73rd at 10-over 82.
