TROY — The scores were going lower than the prices in a Kroger ad in the first round of the Miami Shores Club Championship Saturday.
And when an eagle and numerous birdies had cleared, the cream certainly rose to the top in the championship flight.
Defending Miami Shores Club Champion and two-time Troy City champion Ross Ferrell and defending Miami County champion Kris Anderson shared the first round lead with 70 and Piqua City Champion Brian Robbins was just one shot back.
Ferrell used an eagle three on the par-5 15th hole to shoot four-under par 32 on the back to finish the day tied with Anderson.
Anderson shot an even-par 36 on the front, before coming in with a two-under par 34 on the back.
Robbins went out in 37, before coming in with a two-under par 34 for a 71.
Two more shots back are Jacky Chen and Kyle Brueckman are two more shots back after 73.
Chen had the low front nine with 34 before shooting 39 on the back, while Brueckman had nines of 37 and 36.
