Henderson's 71 leads Bulldogs on Day 1 of Ryan T. Lee Memorial Collegiate

Results

SIMSBURY, CONN. – The Bryant University golf team sits third after day one of the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Collegiate, held at Hop Meadow Country Club in Simsbury, Conn.

Two Bulldogs are in the Top 20 after day one, with junior Connor Henderson (Southborough, Mass.) sitting one shot off the lead after a 1-under 71. Henderson parred all but three holes on the afternoon, with a birdie on five and 12 and a bogey on 15. Senior Ryan Brown (Bedford, N.H.) started four over after four holes, but played even-par golf over the final 14 holes to finish with a 75, good for T20 on the leaderboard.
