SEVEN LAKES, NC - The Swarthmore College men's golf team sits one-stroke off the leader after the opening round of the Hampden-Sydney Invite on Sunday. The Garnet battled through windy conditions to card a 313 (+29) for the opening round as they trail Carnegie Mellon University (B) by one stroke. 

Andy Xin leads the clubhouse by five strokes after shooting one-under-par to open the tournament. The sophomore carded four birdies as he sits comfortably at the top of the leaderboard.
