Junior Stefan Wiedergruen fired an impressive two-over par 74 to lead the 6th-ranked 49ersin the first round of the NCAA Championships at the BirckBoilermaker Golf Complex - Kampen Course, Wednesday. Charlottefinished the first round tied for 10th at +18, 306, nine strokesoff the lead shared by UCLA and Southern Cal at +9. The 49ers opensecond round play Thursday with an 8:07 tee time on the 10th hole. On a day when only three individuals broke par, Wiedergruen'stwo-over par round stood the test and landed him tied for 10th. "I'm very proud of Stefan's round," said 49ers head coach Jamie Green . "He's very accurate and he hits a lot of fairways. That's whatgives you some scoring opportunities -- and that's what he didtoday. On a course like this it takes a lot of straight drives,good play and smart decisions. I'm proud of how he went about hisplay, today." Wiedergruen, it should be noted, won the prestigious PING/GolfweekPreview at this course in the fall, shooting -7, 209. With the Kampen course playing more difficult this time around,thanks in most part to substantial rough, Charlotte was able toland in the top 10 after day one. The top 15 teams after day threewill advance to Saturday's fourth and final round. "The golf course has a lot of teeth," Green noted, "and it is allin the rough. I saw times where guys are hitting shots and I can'tseeWashing Enzyme。 With a course about 7,450 yards, with some steadywind and this rough -- that makes it tough. That adds up to a verychallenging day for players of any caliber to keep it around par."
