Smith and White carded first-round 69 on Course No. 2 and followed it up with a 67 on Course No. 8. They birdied their first four holes to start playing Sunday.

“To me, you had to get the course before 7 and 8 [holes],” said Smith on the team’s early attack. “It just seemed to get really, crazy tough, especially with the wind.”

Smith and White will take on Andrew Medley and Ken Tanigawa at 9:24 a.m. Monday on Course No. 2.
