Adam Hunt, who last week won the Carolinas Golf Association’s Jimmy Anderson Boy’s Junior Invitational, shares the lead with Lancaster’s Trey Crenshaw.

The leaders shot rounds of 5-under par 67s to share the lead by 2 shots over four golfers including the 2019 champion Austin Scott from Charleston.

Hunt carded six birdies and a bogey while Crenshaw didn’t have a blemish on his first round scorecard.
