Steve Irwin of Lakewood Country Club and Alex Buecking of Columbine Country Club, who won the CGA Four-Ball Championship as a team in 2009, have different partners this year but share the lead after Friday’s first round of the Four-Ball at Legacy Ridge Golf Course in Westminster.
Irwin and Barry Erwin of Murphy Creek Golf Course made nine birdies in opening with an 8-under-par 64. And that total was matched by Buecking and Trent Isgrig of CommonGround Golf Course, who had eight birdies in a bogey-free round.
Irwin also won this event in 2004 with Pat Diaz. As for Buecking, he and Jason Enloe of Dallas advanced to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship in May.
Two other players who competed in that national four-ball tournament in the spring, Ben Sherlund and Zach Fowlds of Colorado Golf Club, are in third place after shooting a 66 on Friday. Dallas Massey of South Suburban Golf Course and John Hayes of CommonGround hold down the fourth spot at 67 after making an eagle on the 18th hole in round 1.
A total of 45 two-person teams are competing in the scratch best-ball stroke-play event. The 54-hole tournament continues through Sunday.
The CGA Four-Ball was originally scheduled for early May, but a snowstorm caused it to be postoned.
