Amherst’s Brian Smith leads after Round 1 of the 2019 Chippewa Championship, posting a solid 3-under par 68 on Saturday in Doylestown.
Smith had his round to 5-under par through 14 holes, but gave back a pair coming home on the always tricky “Triangle”.
Following just one shot behind Smith in second place is Mike Simpson, who shot stress-free 2-under par 69 on Saturday.
Akron’s Tommy Li is in third place after a sizzling 32 on the front nine, finishing at even par 71 for the day.
17 players are within 7 shots of the lead, a number that is easy to overcome on the back nine on Sunday at the Chippewa Championship…
SKINS: Skin winners on Saturday were Mark Schneider with an eagle-3 on Hole 10, Allen Freeman with an eagle-3 on Hole 11, and Ken Koprivec with a birdie-2 on Hole 12. The skin payout amounts will be determined after tomorrow’s round, as skins are paid on the 36 holes.
