Orlando, Fla. - Western Carolina golfer Matt Cook, making the first ever appearance by a Catamount in the NCAA men's postseason, turned in a first-round score of 86 at the NCAA East Regional Championship, played at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club. The round was out of the ordinary for the sophomore, who entered the NCAA regional with a career stroke average of just over 71 and no career round over 76.
Cook started his day with a par, followed by a birdie. However, he then had five straight bogies with a triple bogey to shoot 43 for hit first nine hole. His struggles continued over his final eight holes before he birdied his last hole of the day. He will look to build on that finish with 18 holes on Friday and a final 18 holes Saturday.
