Men’s golf in second after first round Monday

GAINESVILLE, Ga. – The Loyola University New Orleans men's golf team started its 2026 spring schedule on Monday, playing the first of two rounds of the Spring Golden Tiger Collegiate. The Wolf Pack is in second place out of 10 teams after a first-round 313 (+25). 
 

The tournament will conclude on Tuesday with the second round at the Chattahoochee Golf Club in Gainesville, Georgia. 
 

Manuel Corral leads Loyola in a tie for second place on the individual leaderboard, carding a 75 (+3) on Monday. He started his first round with two birdies and five pars through his first seven holes, then a bogey on the par-3 eighth brought the sophomore to 1-under after the front nine. After three pars, two birdies and two bogeys kept him at 1-under through 16, a rocky finish moved him to 3-over. 
 

Arsenios Kalogerakis joins his teammate in the Top 5 after his first-round score of 76 (+4). The freshman was even par through nine holes after three birdies, three pars and three bogeys, then a four-over back nine finished his day.
