BANDON, Oregon (April 6, 2008) -- Play got underway today in the seventh annual amateurgolf.com Two Man Links Championship.
Thirty-eight teams from around the United States and Canada played today's first round at Pacific Dunes, with Championship Division playing at 6633 yards (par 71) and Net and Senior Divisions playing 6142 yards.
As afternoon winds picked up, the 575-yard, par 5 18th proved particularly troublesome, as it played right into the teeth of the wind with a devilish back-of-green pin placement.
First round scores follow. Tomorrow's second round will be played at Bandon Trails.
