After round one, Keithville native Jeffrey Berry finished first shooting -1.
Ragin Cajun Golfer Jack Tolson from Opelousas finished 29th shooting +3.
“I didn’t do my best,” said Tolson, “I missed a couple short puts that kind of got me frustrated.”

“I just executed beautifully and made an easy par.”
