Goldey-Beacom showed plenty of outstanding play on day one of the NCAA East/Atlantic Men's Golf Regional and completed things just in time with the opening round suspended due to inclement weather.
 
The remaining nine teams will get back on the course Friday at 7:30 am to complete the opening round.  Goldey-Beacom is in the first group to tee in the second round, which now will commence at 9:30 am.
 
The tournament still is expected to go the scheduled 54 holes.  There is no cut.
 
Pablo Saenz Avila (Bogota, Colombia), a five-time All-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference pick, used two birdies over the first eight holes to go out in 37 and close at 75 in a tied for 35th.
 
Camilo Samur (Bucaramanga, Colombia), named to the All-CACC team a third straight year, went out in an even-par 36 and got two birdies on the back nine to end with 75.  William Kelly (Auckland, New Zealand) played the back nine in 37, parlaying this with birdies on the par-three fourth and seventh holes to card a four-over-par 75.
 
Adrian Bonilla (Almeria, Spain) went out in 38 and then drained three birdies on the back nine to finish at 77, sitting tied for 60th.  Five-time All-CACC selection Hunter McGee (Almonte, ON) birdied the par-three seventh hole as part of his opening round 81 that has him tied for 91st.
 
Goldey-Beacom sits 11th with 302.  The top five teams and the top two individuals not among those teams go to the NCAA Championship in Winter Garden, FL, part of the organization's spring festival.
 
Gannon holds the overall lead at five-over par and Charleston (WV) has the clubhouse edge with 296.  Michael Wareham and Shaunak Rama from Gannon along with Benjamin Fernandez from Glenville State all hold the individual edge at two-under par.  Wareham is in the clubhouse with 69.
