Round one of the Georgia Mid-Amateur Championship is in the books and Stan Gann Jr., leads the field at 4-under-par 68. The 37th edition of this competition is taking place at Piedmont Driving Club, May 18-20.
Gann's day started on hole 10 and over the first nine holes he made three birdies and a bogey to turn at 2-under. His final nine holes were bogey-free and with two more birdies he notched his opening-round 68. Gann is looking for his first victory at the Georgia Mid-Amateur Championship.
