Sonnenschein was only a shot behind Bothun, tied for fourth with a one under par, 71. Luke Olson shot a three over par 75 to tie for seventh. Jack Bartlett would round out the scoring for the Governors on day one with a six over par, 78. Lincoln Houska had a 79 and Charlie Simpson finished with a 90.

They stay ahead of third place O’Gorman by 10 shots. Tiffany Benham, head coach of the Governors says for both Bothun and Sonnenschein to continue to manage the course in the second day…
