Four golfers shot 71 -- Salpointe's Ryan Tanner, Thunderbird's Jake Chanen and Dan Strazinski and Notre Dame's Austin Stadeli. Six more ended the first round at 72. Twenty-three golfers are within five shots of the lead. Thunderbird leads a tight, three-team race after the first day. Thunderbird's score of  286  is followed by Canyon del Oro (289) and Notre Dame Prep (295). Canyon del Oro is the defending team champ.
