York’s Reed Malleck, fresh off his Nebraska stroke play championship at the Fremont Country Club along with Omaha’s Trevor Gutschewski who won the United States Amateur Match play title are both in the field this week.
Both golfers were in the afternoon wave which teed off after 1 p.m. and both Nebraska golfers were on the Hazeltine National Golf Course.
The leader after one round is Paul Chang, from the People’s Republic of China as he fired a 6-under 64 at the Chaska Town Course. The top seven spots on the leaderboard belong to golfers who played at Chaska. In second place is Cooper Claycomb from Bowling Green Kentucky.
The best round at Hazeltine was turned in by James Aschfield of Wales with a 69.
Gutscheski ended his day at 5-over par and at press time that was a tie for 231st place. With a back nine of 37 and a front nine of 40.
Malleck has a much tougher road to climb as he was 12-over with one hole to play at press time. Both he and Gutschewski will be in the first wave this morning. Gutschewski will go off at 7:55 a.m. and Malleck at 8:28 a.m.
As of press time even par will get you to the round of 64, but a lot can change in the second round with so many of the leaders having to play at Hazeltine.
