Tom Fischer shot (-7, 65) making him the solo leader after 18 holes. He tied the third-lowest individual round in OWCC history and tied for the best opening round score since 2017.
Cohen Trolio who has played Old Waverly Golf Club since his youthful days carded a bogey-free (-6, 66). He would make four birdies on his front nine and eagled the par 5 15th to shoot two-under on his second nine.
Michael La Sasso and Kye Meeks each shot (-5, 67) and were tied for third after round one. They would both eagle the par 5 15th.

Cameron Tankersley would shoot (-3, 69) in his opening round, placing him tied for 10th.
Collins Trolio who is competing as an individual for Ole Miss this week would tie his career-low 18-hole score with an opening round of 67. Much like his older brother having course knowledge, Trolio would tally the fourth eagle in the first round by a Rebel on No. 9.
