Komline Paces Field on Day One of 67th Pre-Senior Championship
HILLSBOROUGH, N.J. – After 18 holes at Royce Brook Golf Club, Brian Komline of Black Oak Golf Club leads the 67th Pre-Senior Championship. The 2024 Pre-Senior runner-up finished the day at 1-under par 71 on the 6,527-yard course.
Komline, 51, bested the field three strokes on Monday thanks in part to five birdies, including back-to-back birdies on holes 17 and 18 to finish the day strong.
