DALLAS – Thomas Henson carded a team-best 70 as the Louisiana Tech golf team finished with a round one total of 295 (+7) on Sunday at the Trinity Forest Golf Club.
 
LA Tech, who enters day two in 16th place, is well within striking distance of the rest of the pack as 11 of the 17 teams shot at even par or over. 
 
Henson heads into round two tied for 13th individually.  After registering a bogey on the 482-yard No. 4, the Central Missouri transfer made birdies on three of the next five holes.  A double bogey on the par five No. 10 sent him back to even par, but he closed out the red with two more birdies to finish at -2.
 
Lake Juban was second on the team with a 73 (+1).  The senior went into the final three holes at +4, but dropped in an eagle on the 570-yard No. 16 and then closed out his round with a birdie on long 505-yard No 18. 
 
James Swash carded a 74 (+2) which included three bogeys that were bracketed by a pair of birdies on the par 4 No. 6 and No. 15.  Will Patrick and Peyton Johnson each finished the day with a 78 (+6) while Reeves Pullin, seeing his first action as a Bulldog, shot a 77 (+5) playing as an individual.
 
QUOTABLES
Head coach Matt Terry
 
"Overall, we played decent except for holes eight through 10.  We definitely have to play the par fives better in order to for us to move up the leaderboard.  Thomas had a solid day today.  Lake and James had strong finishes.  Looking forward to seeing how the team responds tomorrow."
 
NOTABLES

• Thomas Henson tied his low round of the season with a 70
• Lake Juban recorded the second eagle of the season by a Bulldog (Will Patrick had one in round one of the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate)
