Ovard on Top After Round 1 of North Amateur
PLANO – Six birdies helped Dawson Ovard of Frisco stand atop the field at the end of the first round at the 2019 North Amateur. Ovard shot a 4-under-par 68 on the day. He was 6-under through 14, but bogeyed holes No. 15 & 16, finishing the round with two par-saves.
