REBEL ROUNDUP: Leading the Rebels' first-round scorecard, junior Zach Little sits in a tie for seventh at 3-under 69 and senior Trevor Lewis stands in a tie for 20th at 1-under 71. Competing as an individual, freshman Aaron van Hauwe matched Little's 3-under 69 as each of them put together a bogey-free scorecard on the course's front nine.

Also in the Scarlet & Gray lineup, senior Wyatt Plattner (+4), junior Ryan Abuan (+4) and junior Mason Snyder (+4) are all tied for 62nd. The remaining Rebels playing solely as individuals include senior Billy Smith (+1) in a tie for 32nd, senior Brett Sawaia (+7) in 77th and freshman Nico Bencomo (+13) in 84th.

DAY-ONE LEADERS: Virginia grabbed the day-one lead at 11-under for a five-shot advantage over Auburn (-6) in second. Taking the individual lead into the second round, the Cavaliers' Paul Chang finished with a first-round 6-under 66 to pull one shot ahead of San Diego State's Harry Takis (-5) and the Tigers' Jackson Koivun (-5) in a tie for second.

The Rebels (+4) will look to make a move from their tied-for-ninth position on the second day of competition.
