The Charger men's golf team kicked off their spring season Monday at the San Antonio Shootout in San Antonio, Texas.As a team, the Chargers are in eighth place with a 649 (324, 325) and are eight strokes off the teams tied for sixth.

Wayland Baptist are the leaders after 36 holes with a score of 606 (303, 303). Oliver Gaisford (Our Lady of the Lake) and Max Schliesing (Houston – Victoria) are the invidual leaders with scores of 145. 
 
"36-hole days are the equivalent of a 10 hour marathon," said head coach Ben Irlbeck. "Conditions and fatigue become a factor today. The guys had great stretches of golf, but it showed it was our first round of the spring season as well. I have no doubt we will rebound tomorrow and look at pushing the teams ahead of us."
