The Missourian opened with 69 at Seminole Golf Club to take a slim lead on an Argentine star and a former Mid-Am champ
This is familiar territory for Berkmeyer, considering he also led after the first round of the Crump Cup, another prestigious mid-amateur event, but one that ends in match play. The 45-year-old also garnered some attention last August, when he was one of four mid-amateurs to make match play at the U.S. Amateur. He lost in the Round of 64.
A four-man tie for fourth at 1-under 71 includes Matthew Swan, Matt Broome, T.J. Shuart and Scott Harvey, the 2014 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion.
In the senior division, past champions Gene Elliott (’07 and ’09) and Vinny Giles (02' & 07') posting opening rounds of 70 to take a one-shot lead over Jeff Knox and Steve Harwell. Knox, of course, is fresh off his usual turn as the Augusta National marker at the Masters two weeks ago.
