Jace Guthmiller's day included an opening birdie, two closing birdies and three more – plus an eagle – in between.
“I hit a lot of drivers today, and that was kind of the gameplan going into today,” Guthmiller said.
Length helped him out on a short layout, but so did taking his medicine on the tight holes. He didn’t do anything risky on those. In addition, his putter performed.
“I like this course a lot because it’s a lot like what I grew up on back home in South Dakota, kind of a tree-lined course, holes go back and forth,” he said. “Some holes I kind of like to hit in the opposite fairway and take a different angle in.”
Behind Guthmiller, Fernando Arzate went 5 under – which included an eagle on No. 2 – to fall into second place. Luke Kluver and Caleb Badura, who won the Nebraska Match Play title earlier this year, are tied for third at 4 under.🚨Incredible up-and-down for birdie on No. 17, and a 💣 on the last for back-to-back birdies. @JaceGuthmiller is our new leader after a record-tying first round 65 (-7). #NebAm pic.twitter.com/xPPWACDlOX
