Seth Taylor also had a round that saw him bogey three of the first four holes he played, but was able to end the day with three consecutive birdies to finish the opening round tied for 19th with a three-over 75 (37-38). Taylor was solid in par 3 scoring with a 2.75 scoring average which was tied for second and his four birdies on the day was tied for the fourth most in the opening round.
