Jonathan Griz carded the second-lowest score in school history for strokes under par in a round with his 10-under par 62 Sunday, to lead the No. 16 Alabama men's golf team to the opening round lead at the 2024 Linger Longer Invitational. As a team, the Crimson Tide carded a score of 21-under par 267 – the lowest total in relation to par and the second-best single-round score in program history – to take a nine-stroke lead after 18 holes played.

Alabama, the defending champions of the event, had four golfers finish among the top-10 (Griz in first, JP Cave in third and Thomas Ponder and Jones Free tied for sixth), three of which finished with bogey-free rounds (Griz, Cave and Canon Claycomb).

In all, Alabama collected 24 birdies, one bogey and one double bogey throughout its record-setting day.

The three-day, 54-hole event, hosted by Kennesaw State, will continue with second round action Monday at the par 72, 7,436-yard Great Waters Golf Course at Reynolds Lake Oconee in Greensboro, Ga.
