WILLIAMSBURG, VA - Senior Adam Pifer shot an even-par 71 to lead the Temple golf team, which stands in third place after one round, in the spring opening First Market Bank Intercollegiate, hosted by William and Mary on Monday. Pifer is tied for sixth place in the 116-player field and one shot back of the leaders after carding a season-low score.
