17-year-old Shocks Field with 67

-Billy Condon

17-year-old Sam Bernstein, an amateur from Riverdale, N.Y., fired an opening round 67, one stroke better than Andrew Giuliani, who held the clubhouse lead for much of the day. Bernstein, who finished tied for 12th at the 2009 Carter Cup led the way with 5 birdies and only one bogey. In a field full of experienced veteran professionals and amateurs, it was Bernstein, the young gun, who came away with the early advantage after the first day of the Met Open. Stay tuned to see if Bernstein's 67 holds up as the overnight clubhouse lead as there are still a few more groups left on the course.
