"I think I did pretty good today after the start that I had," said Bertinotti. After finishing one-under on the back nine, he knew he would be fine. "I play at Campbell, so I know the course," said Bertinotti. "I think I managed myself around the course pretty well. I just keep things simple and calm and try to hit as many greens as I can." Familiarity was also key for Harris. "I have been around this golf course a long time," said Harris. "I got a few breaks early in the round, made only four puts, but all in all, a solid round of golf."
Tardif made seven birdies and three bogeys on the day, but he is confident going forward.. "I was able to hit a few close approach shots on my back nine, than my front nine," said Tardif. "Right now, I am in a good position. If I do what I did today, I should be in a good spot."
