CAMDEN, S. C. (May 21, 2016) -- First round results from 4th Creed Boys' Invitational hosted by Camden Country Club in Camden S. C. on May 28, 2016 (6,296 yards, par 35-35--70, Course/Slope Rating: 70.9/126).

 

89 players competed in the first round of the 4th Creed Boys' Invitational. Threatening skies stayed at bay but Camden Country Club proved to test the accomplished field. Three players were able to manufacture even par rounds leaving them at the top of the leaderboard heading into Sunday's final round. Caleb Proveaux of Lexington, S.C. emerged from a talented grouping that included defending champion Eric Bae of Pinehurst, N.C. and recently crowned North Carolina 3A individual state champion Patrick Stephenson of Four Oaks, N.C. Proveaux, the South Carolina 3A individual state champions, started on No. 10. The only blemish on his card came on No. 11. The Gamecock signee got back to even par after taking advantage of No. 5, a short par 4.

Matt Moninghoff of Columbia, S.C. also started on No. 10. However, the Coker College commit got off to a fast start picking up birdies on his two of his opening three holes. Moninghoff dropped back to even par after a double bogey on No. 18. "I had it going strong through the first eight, then I came in on nine and had a rough hole to make double but I bounced back with a couple birdies," Moninghoff said.

Moninghoff took advantage of all three par 5s making birdie on each one. "Most of them were reachable," Moninghoff explained, "I went for all of them except for No. 3. I really played them well."   

Joey Funderburg of Wilmington, N.C. started on No. 10 as well. An early birdie on No. 11 helped minimize the damage caused by a bogey on the next hole. The high school senior got back to red number after a birdie on the par 3 16th. Bogeys on Nos. 2 and 3 threatened to tarnish Funderburg's round until his putter helped him bounce back, Funderburg explained, "On the front nine I made a couple good par putts that got me going."

A final birdie on No. 7 returned Funderburg to even par, making him the leader in the clubhouse.

Play will continue tomorrow starting at 8 am.
