EL PASO, Texas (November 20, 2006) — At the end of the first day, the top three spots belonged to the Southeastern Conference, as Vanderbilt’s Luke List tied the tournament record with an opening 36-hole performance of 130 (12-under par) at the 32nd Annual Western Refining College All-America Golf Classic at the El Paso Country Club on Monday.

List began the day with a new tournament record 62 on the opening 18 holes. He finished his round with 10 birdies, seven pars and one bogey on the day. List followed it up with second round 68 to tie Arizona’s Ricky Barnes for the best opening 36-hole total in tournament history. Barnes carded a 67-63—130 in 2000 to win the Golf Classic.

But for List, last year’s runner-up Chris Kirk of Georgia did not let up. Kirk fired an opening round 65 and followed it up with a second round 66 to stay one strokes off the pace at 11-under par. Kirk was the only player in the field to fire two rounds of bogey-free golf on Monday, as the senior drained 11 birdies on the day.

Florida's Billy Horschell matched List's 62 in the second round.
Florida’s Billy Horschel, who began the second round in 15th place and nine stroke off the pace, made up a lot of ground as he tied List’s hours old record with a matching 62 to give the sophomore a two-round total of 133. Horschel, who began the second round on the back nine, carded a 29 to tie the tournament record for the best nine-hole performance. The record was set in 1992, when Jean-Paul Hebert of Texas also recorded a 29 on the back nine at El Paso Country Club.

Atlantic Sun Conference foes Russell Knox of Jacksonville and Rhys Davies of East Tennessee State are tied with Georgia’s Brendon Todd for fourth place after finishing the first two rounds with a two-round total 137 (five-under par).

In all, 21 players carded a two-round total of even par or better on Monday.

The 32nd Annual Western Refining College All-America Golf Classic returns to action on Tuesday for the final 18 holes at 8:00 a.m. (MT) at the El Paso Country Club.

The tournament, hosted by the Sun Bowl Association, is played at the Par-71, 6,837-yard El Paso Country Club.

Each university is awarded a $1,000 scholarship if a golfer from that school competes in the tournament.
