PALM DESERT, Calif. - The 21st-ranked Bruins are in fourth place after one round of the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate at The Classic Club. UCLA shot a 1-over 289 as a team on Friday and is two shots back of Colorado for third and five behind second-place Texas Tech. California (-13) leads the tournament after 18 holes.

Junior Cole Madey is pacing the Bruin scoring fivesome and is tied for ninth after the first round following a 3-under 69. He made seven birdies on #4, #8 and #10, three in a row on #12 through #14, and another on the 17th, with two bogeys and a double.

Senior Tyler Collier is tied for 26th following an even-par 72. He birdied back-to-back holes on #4 and #5, as well as #14, to go with three bogeys. Sophomore Hidetoshi Yoshihara and freshmen Devon Bling and Eddy Lai are all tied for 52nd at 2-over 74. Bling made three birdies (#8, #16 and #18), three bogeys and a double, Yoshihara had back-to-back birdies on #3 and #4 to go with four bogeys and Lai posted birdies on #3 and #14, two bogeys and one double.

Playing as individuals, junior Patrick Murphy is tied for 17th, posting a 2-under 70. After making two bogeys on his first nine after starting on the 10th hole, Murphy recorded four birdies on the front nine on #3, #4, #6 and #9. Junior Jack Ireland is tied for 33rd. Starting on the 10th, Ireland made a birdie on #11, as well as his last two holes (#8 and #9), adding four bogeys.

Round two for the Bruins begins on Saturday at 7:20 a.m. off the first tee in the order of Lai, Bling, Yoshihara, Collier and Madey. Ireland and Murphy will tee off right before the Bruin scoring fivesome off tee #1. Live scoring will be available here.
