GRANBURY, Texas – Hardin-Simmons' men's golf team is in fourth place after the first round of the American Southwest Conference Championship, played at the Nutcracker Golf Club in Granbury.

The tournament is a play-six, count-four format.
Andrew Bin led the Cowboys with an even-par 72 and is in fourth place overall.
Jake Atherton shot a 73 and is in seventh place.
Jack Estes finished with a 77 and
Luke Jun shot a 78.
Kade Burton (82) and
