Clay Stirsman also recorded two birdies on his first nine as he and Mark Power each sank one on the 468-yard, par four 12th hole.

From Coach Haas
"We played alright today, we weren't very good around the greens and made too many little mistakes. The greens will be a little smoother and softer in the morning so we'll see if we can make up some ground. There's a lot of golf left to play so we will hang in there and battle until the end." – head coach Jerry Haas
