Kendziorski's 66 Highlights Marquette's Friday at the Mason Rudolph

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Austin Kendziorski shot an opening round 66 to give Marquette its lowest individual round of the season, while Oliver Farrell's 67 paced the Golden Eagles in a 4-under-par 280 round and a tie for seventh after 18 holes at the Mason Rudolph Championship, hosted by Vanderbilt.

Kendziorski, playing as an individual, had the clubhouse lead upon his finish with a 5-under-par round on the Par 71, 7,100-yard Vanderbilt Legends Club course - he was tied for fourth at the conclusion of play on Friday. Kendziorski's round was bogey-free, and tied for the second-lowest single-round score of his collegiate career.

Farrell, who delivered his fifth subpar round over his last six, matched his season-low round. He birdied three of his first eight holes, took advantage of the lowest scoring hole on the course and made eagle on the Par 5, 517-yard 14th, and birdied the Par 5 No. 18 to tie for sixth after one round.

Farrell and Matthew Bachmann (73, 2-over-par) made eagles in the opening round for the Golden Eagles, who now have 17 for the season. MU entered the weekend ranked 14th in the nation in eagles made.

Tennessee shot a 15-under-par 269 to lead the tournament through 18 holes - UT's Nolan Ray and Kentucky's Cullan Brown shot 7-under-par 64s to lead the 90-man field.

Round two tees off for Marquette beginning at 10:15 a.m. CT on Saturday. Kendziorski opens his second round at 9:09 a.m. CT.
