Round One Results
 
A familiar name sits alone atop the leader board after the first round of the 13th TYGA NC Middle School Championship, as Akshay Bhatia of Wake Forest, NC shot even par 70 at Badin Inn and Golf Club. Bhatia holds a one shot lead in the boys’ division over Fulton Smith of Pinehurst, NC but there are plenty of other familiar names looking to come from behind. Sitting just two shots off the lead are Grayson Wotnosky of Wake Forest, NC and Jack Heath of Charlotte, NC. Britt Stroud, of Raleigh, NC, Chris Kim of Cary, NC and Grant Smith of Charlotte, NC are tied for fifth after shooting 73 on the very tight par 70 5,335 yard course.
 
In the girls’ division Amanda Sambach of Concord, NC posted a first round 75 beating out her teammate Muskan Uppal of Cornelius, NC by a single stroke. Anna McDonald of Hickory, NC finished three shots back of Sambach currently sits in solo third entering the final round.

The O’Neal School from Pinehurst, NC finished at 154 after the first round, while West Pine Middle School also from Pinehurst is in 5th place alone with a score of 159.
