New Mexico men’s golf team is second-to-last on the leaderboard after finishing 13 over par in the first round of the NCAA Bryan Regional Monday at Traditions Club in Bryan, Texas.

Only Arkansas-Pine Bluff (+30) carded a higher team score than the fourth-seeded Lobos. Tournament host Texas A&M leads the 14-team field at 12 under par while North Carolina (-10) and TCU (-8) are in second and third place.

Top-seeded Texas – led by former Lobo coach John Fields – is in fourth place at 7 under at the par-72, 7,146-yard Traditions Club. UNM’s conference rival, UNLV, is in eighth place at 1 over.

Monday, Johnnie Clark led the Lobos with a 1-over-par 73, good for a tie with eight other players for 36th on the individual leaderboard. Mountain West Freshman of the Year Thayer Plewe carded a 3-over 75, Wyatt Provence finished with a 4-over 76 and Emil Albers turned in a 5-over 77.

Mesa Falleur, UNM’s highest-ranked golfer, finished Monday with a 7-over 79, his first over-par round since March. The senior from Muskogee, Oklahoma missed the Mountain West Championship earlier this month with back soreness.

The 54-hole Bryan Regional continues Tuesday and Wednesday. The top five teams from the regional will advance to the NCAA Division I Golf Championship (May 29-June 3) at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, Calif.
