Eastern Wayne Today

The Wayne State University men's golf team completed the first round of the Motor City Shakedown at TPC Michigan on Monday. The Warriors' "A" team is tied for second place among nine teams, while the "B" group is in eighth place. Josh DiCarlo and Tyler Hurtubise led WSU individually, both tying for fourth.

"The Warriors got off to a rough start today," said head coach Mike Horn. "As has been our habit lately, we got it together and finished very strong. We are going to do our best to get out of the gate a lot faster tomorrow. Great playing from Josh DiCarlo and Tyler Hurtubise, who both carded solid two-under par 70s. We are in pretty good shape going into the final day and will have to execute better than we did today. I'm counting on my upperclassman to make that happen tomorrow!"

Horn also expressed gratitude towards the baseball team for their support: "A huge shout out to baseball for coming out and supporting us today," he added. "It was great to see Coach (Aaron) Hepner, Coach (Ryan) Kelley and all the boys. A special thank you to Laura Smith for singing our national anthems today. She sang both the Canadian and US national anthem."
