The Flames, who are ranked No. 25 in the Golfweek preseason top 25 poll, find themselves in eighth place out of 17 teams after one trip around the famed Erin Hill Golf Course.

Liberty will return to the host site of the 2017 U.S. Open championship for round two on Monday. The Flames tee off from the No. 1 tee (par 5, 553 yards), starting at 10 a.m. EST.
