Live leaderboard updates from NCAA Golf Championship
Columbus, OH- Only 15 of the 30 competing teams finished the first round at the 2002 NCAA Men's Golf Championship before pouring rain and lightning took over the Scarlet Course near Ohio State University's campus. NC State started on the back nine at 1:30pm EST and managed to complete only eight to ten of the 18 first round holes. The Wolfpack stands at -1 and is eight strokes off of leader Illinois. Play will resume tomorrow morning at 7am. The NCAA may decide to make a cut after 36 holes to insure that all four rounds are played between now and June 1st.
