07/12/2010 - Greensboro, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Derek Ernst fired a six-under 65 Monday to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of stroke play at the U.S. Amateur Public Links.
Ernst's round included nine birdies, six of which came in an eight-hole span on the Bryan Park Golf & Conference Center.
John-Tyler Griffin is one stroke back at minus-five. Patrick Reed, who was a semifinalist at the 2008 U.S. Amateur, and Justin Lower, who won the Jack Nicklaus award as the NAIA Player of the Year, share third place at three- under 68.
Nick Taylor was last year's stroke-play medalist and runner-up. He posted a two-under 69 to share fifth place with Andrew Yun, Joon Heui Lee, George Bryan, John Hahn, Zachary Blair and Bhavik Patel, who was a semifinalist last year at the U.S. Amateur.
Chris Williams, who won the 2010 Phil Mickelson Award as the most outstanding freshman in NCAA Division I golf, carded a one-under 70. He was joined in 12th by 49-year-old Tim Sheppard, 48-year-old Sean Knapp, who has competed in more than 25 USGA Championships, Alex Edfort and Mark Knecht.
Last year's champion Brad Benjamin is not competing.
Following Tuesday's second round of stroke play, the field will be cut to the top 64 players, who will then face off in match play.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
