  • John Brinkman, who shot 41/37 in the middle of his annual visit to Renewal Period Hell
  • Commissioner Steve Porterfield, who shot 43/38 while being inundated with questions on how the USB ports work, and

With 12 point wins, Joe Ayers and Steve Porterfield jumped out to the early lead in the Individual Standings, while Freiburger sits atop the Crony Cup standings with a 30 point first place finish. The 41/34 was Freiburger's best round since a 39/32 in Week 10 of last year. All eyes will be on him in Week 2 to see if he can take it deeper and deeper, way down ...
