Alex Kephart of Eisenhower Golf Club fired a 67 after playing his final 12 holes in 6 under par. and shooting a 5-under 30 on the back nine. Kephart started the back side birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie. Coming in at 68 were former 5A state high school champion Spencer Painton of Green Valley Ranch Golf Club, who plays collegiately for the University of Kansas, and Braden Baer of Legacy Ridge Golf Course, who competes for Loyola Marymount. Checking in at 69 were Jacob Allenback of Walking Stick Golf Course, the 2014 CGA Match Play runner-up, and University of Denver golfer Chris Korte of Lone Tree Golf Club.
