Live Updates from the Course: Round One
@GCTracker: Tentative start from our man, striking the ball well but leaving himself with a little too much left for birdies on the first two holes, he's even through two in his first professional event.
@GCTracker: First PAR 5 of the day sees the tee shot end up behind a tree and in the deep stuff, he's going for the green and ends up in the greenside bunker. A nice little chip and putt puts the first birdie of the day on the card, -1 thru 3.
@GCTracker: A tasty little sand wedge from just off the fairway at number 6 leaves our man with 10 feet for birdie and he buries it. Back to back birdies to get to three under through the first six holes of the tournament.
@GCTracker: He burns the edge on the difficult 9th to walk away with par and head out in 33, three under PAR headed to the back.
@GCTracker: A confident wedge into the green at 10 and it's a dart! 3 feet for birdie, and Cotugno moves to -4 on the day.
@GCTracker: A wayward tee shot on the par 3 14th leaves a delicate downhill chip to get up and down for PAR, no dice, rolls the PAR putt past the hole and settles for his first bogey of the day, dropping him to -5 on the day after a red hot start to the back nine.
@GCTracker: A ticklish little 15 foot birdie putt finds the bottom of the cup on 18 to close birdie-birdie and finish his first pro round was a 7 under 62, currently tied for 9th after 18 holes.
