Jordan Mandel and Ricky Schmidt led the group with a six-over 76 on the 6,530-yard course at Kenosha Country Club in Somers, Wisconsin. Schmidt carded 14 pars during his round while Mandel had 11 to go with a birdie on the 349-yard, par-4 seventh hole. They tied for 24th place in the 75-player field.
Elijah Collins also birdied hole number seven and finished just one stroke behind Schmidt and Mandel and tied-for-33rd overall with a 77. After starting with five consecutive bogeys, Parker Hill parred 11 of his last 13 holes to finish with a 78 and Cam McGuire had one of just three birdies on the day on 14, a 218-yard, par-3.
