Â
Sam Potter and Jack Morris are tied at 26th, both shooting an even to par, 72 on the day. Potter was even after a bogey and a birdie on the front nine and had a roller coaster over the final nine holes with three bogeys and three birdies to finish even. Morris was at (+1) when he made the turn, but managed a (-1) over the back nine to come even when the round was done.Â
Â
Jaron Leasure and Alejandro Rodriguez are just a stroke behind the pair at 73 (+1) and sit tied for 39th.Â

HEAD COACH WILL BREWER
"It was a slow start for the Bisons on the first nine holes. We played a bit defensively. A strong back nine provides more opportunities to push to the top of the leaderboard these next two rounds. When we putt a bit better and avoid bogeys these next two rounds, we are certain to move up the scoreboard. I am proud of this group of young men."Â
Â
Round two will tee off on Wednesday, April 23rd at Kenderlou Forest Golf Club.Â
