Fresno State is about to make the WAC Commissioner's Cup race too close to call. The Bulldogs are in the clubhouse after Day One of the WAC Golf Championships in second place.
While the Broncos have little hope of taking the team title, the larger goal of the WAC Commissioner's Cup is at stake for the school. Boise State is seeded next to last, and if they finish near that projection, the Cup race is going to be a dogfight (pun intended) between Boise State and Fresno State, especially if the Bulldog men do well today. But if Boise State can finish near the middle of the pack, it will greatly improve the school's chances of winning the Cup in their final year in the conference.
Leaderboard:
1. New Mexico State -1 after 18 holes
2. Fresno State Even after 18 holes
3. San Jose State +5 after 18 holes
4. Louisiana Tech + 7 after 18 holes
5. Idaho +10 after 18 holes
6. Nevada +11 after 18 holes
7. Utah State + 13 after 18 holes
9. Hawai'i +20 after 18 holes
9. Boise State +21 after 18 holes
Utah State, the team expected to finish last, jumped out in front with four birdies. Boise State got off to a subpar start but has since closed within one of the leaders at three under. Hawai'i is +3. All three of the lowest seeded teams have played five holes. New Mexico State shot out of the gate with three under par and currently leads. Louisiana Tech just began play and is already one under. Fresno State is +1 in the early going.
Update: Just what Boise State didn't want to happen. The Broncos are near the bottom and Fresno State now leads. Boise State finished 21 over par, one stroke behind Hawai'i and 8 strokes behind Utah State, the team that was seeded last. New Mexico State finished one under for the lead, but right now it's a scary situation for Boise State's Commissioner's Cup hopes.
