ROUND ONE RECAP

On day one of the Texas Golf Association's first Hill Country Medalist Series event Jay Reynolds shot a lights out 6-under 66. Reynolds will carry a comfortable six-stroke lead into the final round at The Club at Comanche Trace.

On Saturday Reynolds wasted no time in getting his round off to a good start. His first birdie came on No. 1 and after 7th and 8th hole birdies Reynolds turned in a flawless 3-under 33. Reynolds momentarily slowed with a bogey on the 10th but four birdies heading for home helped the opening day leader close with a flurry.

The final two birdies for Reynolds came on the last two holes.

With one round left to play Joe Sanders is in second at even-par while Ted Waldrip, Ross Wilhelm and Arnoldo Curiel are tied for third at 1-over.

The Senior Division is being paced by the 3-over Bill Woodley. Ron Hackelman will be the final round in second place and one-stroke back while Bob Berger is third and three shots further back.
