ROUND ONE RESULTS

After making the turn, Cole continued his par run with four more in a row before getting back to two-under with a birdie on No. 5. Two holes later, however, Cole was back to one-under, but closed his round with consecutive pars to go into the clubhouse at one-under.
Cole will now prepare for his second round on Friday afternoon. His scheduled tee time will be 2:30 p.m. and he will be grouped once more with Evan Johnson of Northwood and Kyle Buzaki of Walsh.
