The first round was played at the El Campeon Course, while the second round was played at the Las Colinas course. 

Gilbert was even through his first nine holes, recording two birdies and two bogeys, but an eagle on No. 13 and a birdie on No. 17 and no bogeys on the outward nine got him to 3-under on the day. 

Jimmy Dales recorded the round of the day, finishing 4-under 67 to propel into a tie for second place at 3-under after an opening round of 1-over 73. Will Morlan and Carson Baez are also T2 at 3-under.

It was a struggle for the round one leaders, as Michael Mays shot a second-round 7-over 78, and Carson Baez shot a 2-over 73. Mays started his round bogey-double bogey-bogey to fall out of the top five through just four holes.
