Jakubcik was dialed in today with a 65 while unfortunately having a double bogey which makes the 65 even more impressive. He made his mark on the par fives playing them 4-under par which is tied for the best scoring average amongst the field. Zach Pollo is tied for 10th at 2-under par. He had eight birdies in his round and leads the field in birdies.

Tianyi Xiong goes 35 and 35 to shoot even par in round one. He had three birdies and an eagle in today's round. Matej Baca and Griffin Rhoads both card 71s to be tied for 34th. Each of them both had two birdies and three bogeys. Johnny Walker finished with a 72 and tied for 43rd.
