Intense Competition Marks the Conclusion of Round 1 at The Territory Classic

(Duncan, OK) - Round 1 of The Territory Classic has come to an exciting close. Tee times began bright and early this morning at 7:15 a.m., kicking off a scorching hot day on the course. The day started with Andrew Beckler taking an early lead, sitting at 4-under par through the front nine. However, Brett White quickly matched Beckler's strong performance, shooting 5-under par through the same stretch.

The two players went back and forth all day, maintaining a thrilling duel at the top of the leaderboard.
