The foursome from Royal Oaks Country Club of Vancouver, Wash., was the clubhouse leader Friday in the first round of the 85th Oregon Golf Association Men's Team Championship at Pronghorn Club near Bend.
Twenty of 36 teams completed the first round Friday after a frost delay shortened play. Royal Oaks combined to shoot a 1-under-par 215.
All three Central Oregon teams finished the opening round. Tetherow Golf Club (+21), Pronghorn (+30) and the Central Oregon Golf Tour (+30) were all well off the pace.
The Team Championship includes teams representing clubs from around Oregon and southwest Washington. The score for each four-person team is calculated by taking the three lowest individual scores in each round from each team.
Portland's Gregg Guernsey shot a 5-under 67 Friday to card the lowest individual score of the first round.
The conclusion of the first round and the entire final round of the Team Championship are scheduled for today at Pronghorn's Fazio and Nicklaus courses.
