Close behind the leaders, there is a three-way tie for third place at 3-under par 68. This group includes another Butterfield Bermuda Championship qualifier, Michael Sims, who finished his round with six Birdies, nine Pars, and three Bogey’s, tying with Peter Knade and Jay Card.
Rounding out the top six, Tyler Hull and Chaka DeSilva both shot 2-under par 69s to end the day tied for sixth.
The third local player qualified for the PGA Tour event, Oliver Betschart, finished his opening round at 1-over par, placing him tied for 16th heading into the second day.
