Ting Fires 71, Leads Tigers After First Round at NCAA Regional

Max Ting had an eagle and five birdies during a first round at the NCAA Norman Regional that saw him finish with a 1-under 71, leading Princeton after 18 holes.

Ting made the par-4 third hole in two and began the back nine with a run of four birdies in five holes to go from even par at the turn to 3-under with four holes to play.

The 1-under score has Ting tied for 15th overall in the 75-player field.

Princeton stands tied for ninth as a team at 5-over, nine shots back of fifth-place Colorado in what would be the final spot to advance to the NCAA Championships. Texas Tech, at 10-under, leads host and second-place Oklahoma by a stroke atop the team standings.

The top player not on the five advancing teams, which, one round in would be Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Alabama, Duke and Colorado, is Kansas's Will King, who is tied for fourth at 4-under, three strokes in front of Ting. Alabama's Nick Dunlap and Oklahoma's Drew Goodwin lead the chase for regional medalist honors at 6-under, and Texas Tech's Ludvig Aberg is third at -5.

Tuesday's round will begin at 8 a.m. CT/9 a.m. ET with Princeton's first tee time at 9:25 a.m. CT/10:25 a.m. ET. Princeton's first-round scores are below, and live scoring is available here.
