Michael Antona of Kenilworth, ENGLAND has taken the first round lead at the Grand Cypress Open by firing a 2 under par opening round.  Michael led this division in birdies on Saturday with 5 and will have a 3 stroke advantage heading into Sunday's final round. 

Felipe da Paz of BRAZIL (2011) will start in second place at 73.  Felipe is playing in his first event of the season;  Michael has two Top 20s thus far.  Three players will start the final round tied for 3rd at 74, one stroke back of da Paz:  Mookie DeMoss of Duluth, GA (2010),

Blake Soni of Lakewood Ranch, FL (2010) and

Evan Littlefield of Thunder Bay, ON, CANADA (2010).  Zachary Stanley of Inverness, FL (2010) and Joseph Winslow of Overland Park, KS (2011) will start tied for 6th, 5 strokes off the lead.

The question of the day is what did

Emilio Maurer of Puebla, MEXICO (2013) have for breakfast?  Whatever it was, he should have it again tomorrow.  Maurer fired a bogey-free 6 under par 66 in the Boys 13-15 division and will enter Sunday's final round with an 8 stroke lead over 2nd place.  Maurer finished T3 at the Eagle Creek Challenge in October, but will be looking for his first win when he tees it up on Sunday. 

Twelve year old Terrence Zhang of Vancouver, CANADA (2015) will start in 2nd place at 74.  Zhang won this event last season at the 11-12 division. 

Diego Schiffino of Santo Domingo, DR (2013), who won the boys 13-15 level at Bermuda Run last weekend, will start tied for 3rd at 75 with

Gustavo Romero of MEXICO (2014).

Melissa Edmonson of Miami, FL (2010), leads the Girls division after an opening round of even par. (more)
