CHATTANOOGA, TN (July 24, 2017) - Day one of the Chattanooga Choo Choo Invitational is in the books and following a 6-under 66 Ben Follett-Smith is leading the way.

Playing at Council Fire Golf Club the recent Mississippi State graduate birdied eight-times on day one while bogeying just twice and he will carry a one shot lead into the second round over the 5-under second place trio of Brayden Garrison (Tennessee), Blake Maum and Goodman Rudolph (Mississippi State).

On the front nine Follett-Smith birdied the 2nd, 5th and 7th holes and bogeyed Nos. 3 and 9 before really finding that next gear on the second nine.

1-under after nine holes Follett-Smith put together a flawless back nine with birdies falling on Nos. 10, 11, 13, 14 and 18.

The top-five is currently rounded out by Beau Briggs (Ole Miss), Jacob Eklund (Kansas State) and Eddie Wajda III (Wisconsin) who share fifth at 4-under.
