HOWIE-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. - Nicklaus Sutton from Charlotte, NC was on 59 watch late in the first round of the Lake County Open. He hit it close for birdie on 16 to get to -10 (par 71) with two to play. After his birdie putt slid by the high side on 17 he would need an eagle at the par-5 18th to break 60. He went for the green in two and found the penalty area which led to a bogie but still a great round of 62 and a two shot lead over Muzzy Donohue and Anthony Purcea.
The top 40% (36 plus ties) will make the 36 hole cut and play Thursday's final round. After day one there are 42 players at -1 and better.
