ROUND ONE RECAP

Propelled by a hole-in-one Ken Tanigawa has sprinted out to a four-stoke Arizona Players Cup lead. Tanigawa was impressive all day long putting together a first round 7-under 64 at the Rim Golf Club.

Beginning on the 5th, Tanigawa birdied his first two holes to reach 2-under. Following a par on the 7th Tanigawa holed out for his ace on No. 8 and then birdied the 9th to start his day 5-under thru four holes.

The two-time defending Arizona Mid-Amateur champion did bogey the 11th and 17th holes but he was able to sandwich an eagle and birdie in the middle of the two missteps before capping his round with a birdie on No. 3. His eagle came on the par-5 13th.

Tom Sweigart is in second place following a 3-under 68 that included five birdies and a double-bogey. Roger Kraig and Michael Martin are tied for third one shot further back while a quartet of players are 1-under and tied for fifth.
