EFSC Titans Close In on Victory: 2nd Place After Round One
What Went Down in Tuscaloosa
The afternoon at the Ol’ Colony Golf Complex saw a wildfire of greens and a dash of dramatic darkness on Monday that left several teams scrambling to finish their rounds. For the Eastern Florida State College men’s squad, the outcome was a solid 3-over 291, good enough to slot the Titans into second place—just one stroke shy of Central Alabama Community College.
Key Players to Watch

- Masen McKain and Hugo Griesheimer each carved out even par.
- McKain’s 1-under front nine was eclipsed by a single over on the back.
- Griesheimer’s 10‑ and 11‑hole birdies were cut short by a double bogey on 13, but he still flopped a birdie on 15 to end up at 1-under back nine.
- Micke Laurelli carved a 4-over 76, sinking himself into a 16th‑place slot.
- Danny Byers couldn’t play his cards right, ending the round at a whopping 84.
