Arthur Blackman and Preston Fleenor shot an 8-under 64 in the first round of the AmateurGolf.com 2024 Two Man Links and Father & Son at Bandon Dunes at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Ore., to lead the Championship Division.

Blackman shot a round of 71, while Fleenor shot a round of 70.

Jacob and Mark Phillips, the 2022 and 2023 Championship Division winners, are just one shot back in solo second place at 7-under. Nate Kuchta and Ryan Trasamar are in solo third place at 6-under and only two shots back of the lead.

Jacob and Mark Phillips are leading the Father & Son Division by three shots over Jackson and Paul Cannon and Michael and Nick Williams, who are T2 at 4-under.

2023 Senior Division champions Randall Conn and Johan Andersson are tied for the lead in their title defense after the first round at 2-under with Chris Ferenchak and Richard Mundinger. Jay Czarnecki and Richard Blumberg are in solo third place at 1-under.

Established in 2001, the AmateurGolf.com Tour, presented by Callaway, hosts competitive amateur golf events at amazing courses across the country. Past winners of AGC tour events include PGA Tour players, top-ranked collegiate players, and nationally ranked senior and mid-am players.

AmateurGolf.com events offer divisions for male, female, senior, mid-am, and net players.

In 2002, AmateurGolf.com visited Bandon Dunes for the first time with 24 players. We have come back every year with average fields of 80 players (and, most recent years, selling out early due to the addition of a very popular Father/Son division).

The host courses, Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, Old Macdonald, and the Sheep Ranch, have firmly rooted themselves as some of the top courses in the world; however, they are running out of wall space in the Lodge to display the course and destination awards that keep accumulating.
