MIRIMAR BEACH, Fla. – UL's golf team showed no effects from the graduation loss of one of the top players in Ragin' Cajun history here Monday.
In fact, their team numbers surpassed all of last year's events when the Cajuns had All-American Malan Potgieter in the lineup, in Monday's opening round of the Sandestin Collegiate hosted by Texas State.
The Cajuns posted four sub-par scores – something that didn't happen all last year – and rallied from a shaky start to grab the 18-hole lead in their 2026-27 fall season opener. UL shot a nine-under-par 271 over the difficult 7,000-yard par-72 Raven course to claim a two-shot lead heading into Tuesday's second round.
"Coming off the qualifying that we had at home when the numbers were really good, you never really know what will happen when the lights turn on and the tournament starts," said Cajun coach Theo Sliman. "To have our high round out of six guys be 72 in the first round of the season, and five of them from the state of Louisiana, that's really exciting."
Fourth-year junior Ellis Bright of Bath, England, who missed all but five rounds last year and saw no action in the spring with an injury, carded six birdies on his way to a four-under 66 in his return to action. Bright, who finished only one tournament and had to withdraw from a second last fall, had five birdies in a nine-hole span after starting off even par through six holes.
