CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (Dec. 18, 2012) — Florida State sophomore Daniel Berger and defending champion Curtis Thompson put on quite a show Tuesday in the first round of the 82nd Dixie Amateur taking place on three ClubLink courses.

Jason Roets of Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla., and Hunter O’Mahoney from Tequesta, Fla., were tied for third after opening-round 67s. Nine other golfers were another stroke back at 4-under par.

The field of 259 golfers is also playing the 6,808-yard Cypress course at Palm Aire Country Club and the West course at Woodlands Country Club at 6,825 yards. The cut will take place after the third round of the 72-hole event.
