SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- East Carolina's Jason Harris is currently in first place after round one of the Wofford Invitational. The tournament is being held at the par-72, 6,842-yard Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg, S.C.

Harris shot a first round 68 (33-35) to take a one-stroke lead over Tim Kane of Maryland who shot a 69 (36-33). Fellow Pirate Jonathan Hill currently sits in third place after posting a 2-under 70 (33-37).

"I am extremely pleased with the way our team played today under the tough conditions," said ECU head coach Kevin Williams. "Jason and Jonathan carried us today like they have been doing all year."
