First Round Results | Round 2 Pairings
Golf Course: Designed by close friends Joe Finger and Byron Nelson in 1974, Riverhill Country Club’s 18-hole course is a premier location for golf in Texas and the United States. Based in the heart of Hill Country, the course boasts its rare bent-grass greens and a 7,137 yard, 72-par challenge featuring scenic creeks, hills and a lake throughout the property. Over time, the course became Nelson’s favorite, where he was quoted saying, “If I had only one golf course to play, it would be Riverhill.”
Weather: Sunny, high of 97 degrees with a southerly wind at 8 mph.
In Contention: Following the leaders are Mike Curry and Jerry Noble, both of Houston. The men carded 47 points, 5 over their first round quota. Curry and Noble lead the Kite flight.
