Elmwood Golf Club's professionals are perched near the top of the leaderboard after Round 1 of the Taylormade ProAm tournament at Moon Lake Golf and Country Club outside of Saskatoon.

Elmwood's head golf pro, and defending champ, Jeff Chambers, sits in second place on the leaderboard, three shots back of leader Kevin Marushak (Silverwood Golf Club, Saskatoon).

Chambers fired a +1 (73) on Day 1. He opened with a 38 on the front nine, closing with a sturdy 35 on the back.

Meanwhile fellow pro Brennan Rumancik is one shot back of Chambers, and four off the lead, after a round of +2 (74).

Rumancik sat one back of Marushak after nine holes thanks to a 35. But, an eight on the 18th hole, spelled a closing 39, dropping him down to third.

Both Rumancik and Chambers tee off again this morning, looking to press Marushak and close the gap. Just 18 holes remain in the two-day tournament.
