Georgia Mid-Am: Defending champ Hooper leads
EATONTON, Ga. - Defending champion Cameron Hooper of Atlanta posted a steady even-par 70 in round one to lead the Georgia Mid-Amateur Championship by a stroke. The 33rd annual competition is taking place at Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee, May 16-18.

Hooper carded three birdies (holes five, six, 15) and three bogeys (holes 11, 12, 16) in the opening round of his title defense effort. Bob Royak of Alpharetta is one stroke back at 1-over-par 71. Two players sit at 2-over-par 72 after the first 18 holes of play, including two-time Georgia Mid-Amateur winner David Noll, Jr., of Dalton, and Scott Campbell of Sandy Springs.

Only Hooper and Danny Nelson of Savannah made the turn under par (both at 2- under). Nelson finished round one at 3-over-par 73 with four other players.
