STOCKTON, Calif. — Jai Bahl led the Sacramento State men's golf team with a 1-under par round of 71 in the first round of the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational on Monday at The Reserve. The Hornets were 14-over as a team and are in 15^th place with two rounds remaining.
 
Bahl got off to a solid start with three birdies without a bogey on the back nine. He opened his round with a birdie on the par-4 10^th and added birdies on the par-3 13^th and par-4 17^th. Once on the front nine, he parred the first four holes but had bogeys on the par-4 fifth and par-3 eighth. His score places him four shots back of UC Santa Barbara's Dylan Ma who holds the individual lead.
 
Griffin Vaughan ranked second on the team with a round of 76. The freshman was 1-over on the back nine with a birdie and two bogeys. He played the front side of the course at 3-over with a birdie and four bogeys.
 
Zach Matzke and PJ Segerstrom shot 77 and 78, respectively, to complete the team total.
 
Seattle was 7-under as a team and sits one stroke ahead of host and defending champion Pacific. UC Santa Barbara and Eastern Washington are tied for third at 2-under while Fresno State, Utah Valley and Cal State Fullerton were even and are tied for fifth.
 
The Hornets will start the second round at 8:24 a.m. off the 10^th tee with groups teeing off in nine-minute increments. Sacramento State will be paired with fellow Big West schools UC Irvine and CSUN.
