FIRST ROUND RECAP
Round one is in the books at the 17th Jack Hesler Tournament being hosted by Mission Resort & Club. It was a challenging day in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla., as temperatures eventually reached the low 50s but felt much cooler during a few light rain showers. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for even cooler temperatures.
