Hoydalo collected four birdies and one eagle on his opening round but slipped a bit Tuesday, shooting two-over-par on his back nine.

Trailing him is a three-way tie for second place between Kirk Markowski, who also plays out of Selkirk, Marco Trstenjak from Larters and Ryan McMillan from Elmhurst.

“It was going well,” said McMillan after his round Tuesday. “But I bogeyed an easy hole on No. 12.”

He was able to make up that gaff with a 25-foot putt he drained on the 17th hole to save par.

“That was a clutch putt,” he said.

Nic Fanning was crowned the winner of the 13- and 14-year-old group, which plasy four rounds but determine a winner after only two, shooting a combined score of 162,

“I thought I played great — no doubles, no three-putts on both days so that was solid,” said Fanning, whose dad won back-to-back junior championships in 1985 and 1985. “It feels great.”
