Pleasant Winthrop Gold conditions yielded equally pleasant scores after the USDGC Doubles round 1 on Friday. However, no team from either the pro or amateur division was able to take sole possession of the lead.
Big Names Lead Pros
Atop the pro division are Jeremy Koling and Paul Ulibarri shooting a 51 (-14) during the best shot format. The two birdied the entire front nine holes, eagled hole 10, then birdied holes 11 and 12 to make them (-13) through 12 holes. They are tied with the Tennessee duo, 3-time US Champ Will Schusterick and Nathan Long, who only had five pars for the day.
Three strokes back are Horst/Hummel, and four other teams are tied at (-8).
4 Teams Share AM Lead
Looking at the amateur division, four teams are tied for the lead at 58 (-7). They include the following teams: Carey/Macy, Richmond/Quick, Kyle/Fisher, and Zesch/Rankin.
After a round of the mostly open Winthrop Gold, both divisions now head to the heavily wooded Camp Canaan Riverbend Gold Course for rounds 2 and 3. Stay tuned to usdgc.com for more.
