DALTON, Ga. -- Sophomore JAY MORGAN shot a career-low 69 as the Wake Forest

Capital Classic golf tournament. The event is being played on the par-72,
6906-yard course at The Farm Golf Club.
The Demon Deacons, who are coming off their first team title in
three years, carded a first-round team score of 286, or 2-under par. One
of only three teams in the 15-team field not ranked in the Mastercard Top

Georgia Tech and four shots behind No. 1 Clemson.
Morgan (-3), who won his first career individual title at the
Cavalier Classic two weeks ago, currently stands tied for fifth place in
the individual standings. He is just one shot behind the four players who
stand tied for first place at 4-under. Freshman BUCK WILLIAMS fired a 71
and is tied for 11th place at 1-under, while freshman BRENT WANNER and
