The Arizona State men's golf program had a solid first day at the Maui Jim Invitational at Mirabel Golf Course in Scottsdale on Friday, shooting a 15-under 265 and is tied for second with Georgia Tech, just two shots back of leader LSU.
The Sun Devils have three players tied for third with 5-under 65, as juniors Chun An Yu and Blake Wagoner along with freshman Cameron Sisk all are in the top five. Mason Andersen (70) is tied for 36th while Alex del Rey is at 2-over 72 and tied for 56th.
An eagle on the 561-yard No. 17 was the best hole of the day for An Yu, while Sisk, playing in his first collegiate tournament, had five birdies and no bogeys. Andersen actually had six birdies -- tied for fourth-most in the first round -- but one triple-bogey kept him for a great round.
Newcomer Won Jun Lee, playing as an individual, shot 1-under 69 and is tied for 30th.
ASU will begin tee times at 7:30 on Saturday with leader LSU and Georgia Tech.
