Greaser's 67 is UNC's Low Round of the Day
North Carolina freshman Austin Greaser shot an opening-round 67 and Ryan Burnett and Ryan Gerard combined to shoot 5 under par to stake the Tar Heels to a five-shot lead after 36 holes Monday at the General Hackler Championship.
Coastal Carolina is hosting the 15-team event at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club.
UNC is 12 under par after two rounds, five strokes ahead of Wake Forest. Liberty is third at 5 under and East Tennessee State and NC State are tied for fourth at 1 under.
The Tar Heels shot an 8-under-280 in the morning to lead the Demon Deacons by one shot after 18 holes. In the afternoon, UNC shot 4-under-284 and built its advantage to five strokes ahead of Wake Forest.
Greaser made a bogey on his fifth hole in the opening round, but closed his first nine with a pair of birdies and shot 4 under on the front side (UNC started on the 10th hole) to close with a 67, just one shot off the best round of the day. The freshman had an 80 in the afternoon and is tied for 39th at 3 over.
Burnett made seven birdies and shot a 3-under-69 in the first round and posted an even-par 72 in the afternoon. He is tied for eighth place, seven shots behind Coastal's Zack Taylor, who leads after shooting 66-68–134.
Gerard had one birdie and one bogey in the first round for a 72, then shot a 2-under-par 70 in the second round to tie for 11th place at 142.
Austin Hitt shot a pair of 72s to tie for 19th place at 144 and Dougie Ergood followed an opening-round 75 with a 2-under-70 and is 26th at 1 over.
The third and final round is scheduled for Tuesday. The Tar Heels are paired with Wake Forest and Liberty beginning at 9:20 a.m.
