Gibstein Fires First-Round 70, Graham has 72

Amateur Ed Gibstein of Engineers, the 1994 Ike champ, is making the most of his first year of eligibility at the MGA Senior Open. He carded a first-round, even-par 70, including a one-under 34 on the back nine. Gibstein had a rough start to his round with a bogey at the second hole and a double bogey at the par-three third hole, but recovered nicely with birdies at the fourth, fifth and seventh. He's currently the low amateur in the clubhouse.

Last year's Senior Open low amateur, Jim Graham of Winged Foot, just signed his card and turned in a first-round 72. Graham, who started on the 10th hole, was one-under after nine, but three bogeys on the back dropped him a few shots.
