GAM Invitational-Schulert and Walker lead with first round 72's.

Normally the very tough Eagle Eye golf course in Bath plays very tough. Someone should tell that to some of the top MHSAA players in Michigan as both Devan Schulert of Kingsville and Andrew Walker of Battle Creek lead by one shot over two others. In all, 17 players are within the leaders with a final second round on Sunday.

 

Not that just anyone could enter the GAM tournament. As an invitational, players had several criteria from their tournament play on junior tours, state tournaments and then you had to accept the invitational. 

 

 Lurking just behind Schulert and Walker are Donnie Trosper of Plymouth and Andrew Sarokin of Novi who posted one over rounds of 73. Oakland County was well represented by the play of Dylan Deogun of Orchard Lake, James Kneen of White Lake and Alex Dice of Clarkston who are within a low round on Sunday to make things interesting. 

 

For the girls, both Elayna Bowser (Dearborn) and Julia Dean (Brighton) are the co-leaders after day one. Both produced seven-over 79's and have a one shot lead over a pair of golfers Zaafina Naqvi (Sault Ste. Marie) and Anika Dy (Traverse City). Others in the field are a distant six shots or more behind the top four girls.

I will be there with the print story, video story and interviews.
