EL PASO, Texas – Paced by strong opening rounds from seniors Harry Wetton (Bedford, England/The Bedford School), Jaime Waltmire (Tucson, AZ/Canyon del Oro HS/Hawai'i Pacific/So. Mountain CC) and junior Ross White (Dollar, Scotland/Kinross HS), the Western New Mexico University men's golf team is tied for eighth with three others teams following the first round of the Price's Give 'Em Five Invitational that took place on the par 72, 7,307 yard Butterfield Trail Golf Course.
The Mustangs tallied a 300 and are tied with San Jose State, Army and Air Force. Host UTEP leads the 11-team field with a 276, four-strokes clear of New Mexico State. UTEP's Andreas Sorenson and University of Texas-San Antonio's Zander Lozano are on top of the individual leaderboard with six-under 66s.
Wetton compiled four birdies and added nine pars to finish with a one-over 73 and is tied for 29th. He caught fire on the back-nine with three birdies on holes 13 through 15. Waltmire and White were both just a shot back after firing 74s and are tied for 34th. Waltmire had three birdies, all on the front-nine and added an eagle on hole 15.
