The junior was steady knocking home a team-high 13 pars and a birdie on the 618-yard par-5 6th hole. With only nine golfers under par in the 99-player field, Chen currently sits tied for 32nd place.
Freshman phenom Thomas Finn registered a team-high two birdies and carded a 5-over, 76 for the day. Ryan Rittberger (+6, 77), Erik Stevens (+7, 78) and David Mlynek (+8, 79) filed in right behind Finn to round out the Red Storm line-up.
