GREENVILLE, South Carolina -- Round one of the 2002 Southern Conference
Men's Golf Championship is history, and the league is no closer to

Friday at the 6,800-yard Furman University Golf Course, while Georiga
Southern is five strokes back at 287 and Western Carolina rounds out the

including three in a row on holes 11, 12, and 13, en route to a five-under
67 on the day. He paced not only the Cougars, but the entire field, and
holds a two stroke advantage over Western Carolina's Greg Lewis and
Furman's David Sligh. All three of the top individuals birdied the
518-yard, par five 11th hole, with Lewis and Sligh each recording five
birdies and two bogeys on the day, while Brunson finished with seven
birdies and two bogeys.

by John Assey (T4th), a 71 by Bruce McDonald (T8th), and a 74 by Kyle
Bradley (T25th), while Josh Goldstein was the non-counter on the day after
carding a 75 (T32nd).
Meanwhile, all five Furman players equaled or bettered par, with Kirk
Satterfield carding a 70 (T4th), Matt Davidson contributing a 71 (T8th),
and Noble Judy and Vance Embry each firing an even-par 72 (T12th).

a 291 in the tournament's first round and are in fifth, nine strokes out of
the lead, while Appalachian State is sixth after a 293 and UNC Greensboro
and Chattanooga are tied in seventh at 298.
