Minko Opens With 66 at St. Bonaventure

OLEAN, N.Y. - Paul Minko shot a career-low four-under-par 66 to help Cleveland State card a 286 and put the Vikings in fourth place out of 12 teams after the first round of the 26th Annual Leo Keenan Invitational that opened on Sunday at the par-70 Bartlett Country Club.

Minko, whose 66 is tied for the third lowest round in school history, carded a 33 on the front and back nine. He is just one shot off the lead, held by Ryan Prokay of Robert Morris and Stewart Gray of LIU-Brooklyn.
