Sandefur shoots 65; leads Men’s City Championship after round one

Barrett Sandefur shot a 6-under 65 at Lions Municipal Golf Course in the first round of the 2017 Austin Men’s City Championship.  One shot back at 5-under par is Ben Carter whose score stayed at the top of the leaderboard for most of the day, only to see Sandefur’s score post late.  Gerry Diaz and Brian Noonan both sit at 4-under par, each shooting 67, followed by the trio of Jonathan Alden, Chris Hartenstein and Seger Howell – one shot back after rounds of 68.  Rounding out the top 10 are Greg Smith, Hudson Ross and Daniel Martinez, at 2-under 69.  Nine golfers sit at 1-under par as the tournament moves to Morris Williams Golf Course on Friday.  Weather might be a factor as it was today – the early morning wave of players battled rain for almost two hours.
