FORT WORTH, Texas — Juniors Jackson Koivun and Cayden Pope pace the Tigers of Auburn men's golf following day one at the Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational presented by Charles Schwab at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. 

The duo shot 2-over and 3-over, respectively, and is inside the top 30 of the individual leaderboard. Auburn started strong in Monday's two-round action, shooting 3-under in the first wave, which was good for third place; however, a poor afternoon score of 14-over saw the Tigers drop into a tie for eighth place. 

No. 8 Virginia leads at 1-under heading into the final round.
