DESTIN, Fla. – The No. 11 nationally ranked Gustavus Adolphus College men's golf team is competing in the three-round Golfweek Invitational this week. The Gusties stand tied for 18^th place out of the field of 24 teams after shooting +19 on day one of the tournament on Sunday.
 
"Kind of shaky all around today," said Gustavus head coach Scott Moe. "Our miss-hits and miscalculations were extremely costly. Our game plan was pretty solid, we just did not execute. This is a challenging golf course. You need to make a lot of pars and a few birdies will happen. We will be much sharper tomorrow. Looking forward to day two and we will see where the cards fall heading into day three."
 
Jimmy Abdo led the Gusties on day one, shooting +1 to tie for 13^th overall out of the field of 120 golfers. Wyatt Carlson shot +2 to tie for 25^th overall. Chris Gutuza (+7), Blake Forrest (+9) and Aradheea Gawade (+11) followed to tie for 84^th, 95^th, and 109^th overall.
 
"Jimmy and Wyatt had pretty good scores today, but as a group we need to be much sharper," said Moe. "This is a very talented field with many teams we have not yet faced. Very much looking forward to the middle part of the tournament."
 
Up next for Gustavus is round two of the Golfweek Invite on Monday, October 13.
