How do leaderboards stand after round one?
4A BOYS
Qualchan Golf Course, Spokane, par 72
Bellarmine Prep’s JJ Bordeaux fired a six-under 66 at Qualchan Golf Course and leads the field by one stroke ahead of Wednesday’s final round.
A bogey on the par-three fourth was Bordeaux’s lone blemish in what was otherwise a pristine round. Bordeaux grabbed early birdies on two and three, and birded the par-four eighth for a two-under front nine. He posted a bogey-free, four-under 32 on the back.
Sumner’s Ryan Takeshita birdied 17 and 18 to pull within one shot on Tuesday afternoon. Takeshita tallied seven birdies and two bogeys en route to a five-under 67.
Owen Price, Bordeaux’s teammate at Bellarmine, sits just three shots back after posting a three-under 69.
Sumner’s Brock Maulding posted a four-under 32 on Qualchan’s back nine, a strong recovery that put him in fifth place and one under par for the day (71).
Bordeaux was the 4A runner-up in 2022, posting rounds of 71-71 for a total of 142 (-2) at Indian Summner Country Club. Redmond’s Akshay Anand, no longer in the field, stormed back in last year’s second round (73-68) to win by a single shot.
