ALBANY, Ga. -- Sophomore Vincent Norrman fired an 8-under 64 to set a new 18-hole school record and pace the Georgia Southwestern State University golf team to the team lead on a rain shortened Day 1 at the Hurricane Invitational.
Norrman broke the 18-hole record of 65 previously shared by Craig Gibson and Michael Harris. Gibson recorded a 65 at the 2009 Aflac/Cougar Invitational and did it again at the 2011 Bobcat Intercollegiate. Harris shot a 65 at the 2008 GSW Hurricane Classic.
The Hurricanes shot a 6-under 282 as a team on the 7,024 yard Par 72 course at Doublegate Country Club, four strokes better than second place Clayton State (286). Norrman holds a four shot lead over Clayton State's Nick Woof on the individual leaderboard after he shot a 4-under 68.
Junior Ryan Cahill carded a 2-under 70 to sit in a fourth place tie after Round 1 and Tyler Barker turned in a 1-over 73 that puts him in a tie for 17th place. Nix Duncan and Elias Birkeland both shot a 3-over 75 to round out the scoring for GSW.
Young Harris (289) currently sits in third place, while West Georgia (291) and Emmanuel College (292) round out the Top-5.
The teams will conclude the tournament with a 36-hole Day 2 after rain washed out the morning round Monday.
