PARAPARAUMU BEACH, New Zealand -- North Carolina's John Inman fired a two-under-par 69 and is tied for 16th place after the first round of the New Zealand Open. Inman, in his fourth year as the Tar Heel men's golf coach, is five strokes behind leader Scott Gardiner, but stands one stroke ahead of the world's No. 1 player, Tiger Woods. Inman carded a one-under 34 on the front nine followed by a one-under 35 on the back nine. Inman, a former PGA Tour participant, has played in the New Zealand Open several times.
Another player with Tar Heel ties is Mark Wilson who is tied for 16th place with Inman. Wilson was a member of the 1994-97 Tar Heel teams and was the Atlantic Coast Conference champion in 1996. Wilson's two-under 69 came as he posted a one-over-par 36 on the front nine and a three-under 33 on the back nine.
