Nathan Smith has been a fairway and center of greens guy for the first seven holes while establishing his 3-up lead. 

His birdie on the par-3 fourth was a thing of beauty. 

Tim Hogarth has been relatively steady but caught a bad break on the second hole. His tee shot was hit toward the right-side bunkers and the ball could not be found. With Smith's drive in the fairway and facing a walk back to re-tee. He decided to concede the hole near the end of the lost ball search time. Moment after that, a volunteer found his ball in the bunker face. -- Pete Kowalski
