Web.com Tour rookie ties course record; BYU’s Patrick Fishburn posts ‘decent’ 67 in Utah Championship

Farmington • Nothing about the afternoon heat at Oakridge Country Club evoked images of surfing, but Cameron Champ likes the wave he’s riding.

The rookie has experienced his share of ups and downs on the Web.com Tour this season. His current trend is encouraging, with four straight top−10 finishes and a 10-under-par 61 in Thursday’s first round of the Utah Championship presented by Zions Bank.

His coach's advice, as relayed by Champ: “When you're going up, just try to stay there as long as possible.”

His rise to No. 27 on th money list has been driven by a lot of low numbers lately, and the 61 tops them all.
