DALLAS - The UNT men's golf team opened play on Monday at the Trinity Forest Invitational with two rounds of play at Trinity Forest Golf Club, and the Mean Green fared well on the first day of competition with a 282-286, as they sit at even-par and in fourth place - one shot back of third-place Sam Houston and one up on fifth-place Little Rock.

The Mean Green were led by senior Sean Wilcox, who shot a 71-69 and is tied for eighth at 2-under par entering Tuesday's final round. Sophomore Vicente Marzilio shot a 69-72, and is tied for 13th at 1-under. 

Sophomore Diego Prone shot a 71-72 and is at 1-over par in a tie for 21st, while sophomore Tucker Allen is at 2-over and tied for 29th after a 71-73. Allen and Marzilio carded eagles on the Par-5, 560-yard first hole in the opening round, while Prone eagled the 550-yard 14th hole in the second round. Wilcox tallied four birdies in each of the two first rounds.

"I was impressed with how the guys came back this morning after a slow start," UNT head coach Brad Stracke said. "The team hit a lot of quality shots and continues to improve. Sean Wilcox and Vicente Marzilio played solid. Diego and Tucker played through some adversity nicely, as well."

The Mean Green will wrap up play at the event on Tuesday with their sights set on moving up the leaderboard, and they will be paired Little Rock and SMU's B-team with tee times beginning at 8:45 a.m., with Lenny Bergsson and going in nine-minute intervals until Wilcox tees off at 9:21 a.m.
