Shaw going well at NCAA Championship in Virginia

Gareth Shaw was the leading Irishman in the individual standings after the opening round of the NCAA Championships in Williamsburg, Virginia on Wednesday but Niall Turner's University of Minnesota team were right in the hunt for the team title.

Shaw, a Walker Cup 2007 panellist from Lisburn, shot a one-under-par 69 at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club on Wednesday to claim a tie for 15th place after 18 of the 72 holes in these US collegiate golf finals.
