PALM CITY, Fla. – The Texas A&M men's golf team wrapped up day one at the Valspar Collegiate Invitational tied for eighth place with Oklahoma after Monday's two rounds at Floridian National Golf Club.
The Aggies carded rounds of 7-under 277 and 5-under 279 at the par-71, 7,088-yard Floridian National Golf Club to finish the day at 12-under 556. Auburn leads the field at 30-under, while Duke (-14) sits just ahead of Texas A&M on the leaderboard.
Wheaton Ennis and Shiv Parmar paced the Aggies, tied for 10th place individually at 6-under 136. The pair both fired bogey-free rounds of 4-under 67 to open the tournament and followed with circuits of 2-under 69.
Aaron Pounds sits inside is tied for 38th place at 2-under 140, posting scores of 2-under 69 and even 71. Jack Usner completed to loops tied for 57th place with a 2-over 144 tally.

Head Coach Brian Kortan
On the rounds by Wheaton Ennis and Shiv Parmar finishing the day in the top 10...
"Shiv and W were solid all day. They stayed out of trouble for the most part and gave themselves chances to make birdies. They will tell you they left a few strokes out there, but if you get five scores like that every round your team will be in great shape."
On being in the mix with a lot of high-caliber teams...
"It's a great field with a lot of great teams. And I think we're one of those teams. We have a chance to be a really good golf team. We just need to continue doing the little things a little better and keep our confidence at all times. We'll battle. These guys will fight. We're looking forward to doing that tomorrow."
