AUSTIN, TEXAS. – The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) men's golf team stands in eighth place after round one of the NCAA Regionals on Monday at The University of Texas Golf Club in Austin, Texas.

Kelvin Hernandez leads the Spartans in a tie for first place after recording a four-under-par (67).
 
"It was an amazing experience," said Hernandez.  "I was really nervous the first couple of holes but managed to have a solid start and that just helped me to keep playing good. I was hitting the ball really good so that helped me shoot a solid round today. The course is pretty tough so we're just trying to stay in it and give ourselves a chance to go to Nationals."
