Wyatt Bonds led the way for the Evangels, carding a 75 and ending the day in a tie for 19th individually. Isaac Maston, coming off a top-10 finish a week ago, fired a 76 and is currently tied for 24th; and Tyler Price and Austin Davis each shot 77 to end the first round in a tie for 33rd. Gage Gibson is tied for 41st after 18 holes, after recording a 78 in the first round.
