From our Gary D’Amato … Rydder Erbach of Stevens Point tees off on No. 1 in the first round of the @WSGAGolf State Amateur at The Lido. Erbach turned 12 on June 10 which makes him one of the youngest-ever State Amateur qualifiers.

Former UW-Eau Claire golfer Ethan Carrick gets to 3-under with an eagle on 4. He currently leads by two.

Couple of feature groups are set to go off and the lead continues to be one under part with a revolving door of golfers

It’s just a guess, but I’d like to see where four rounds of 74 finishes in this championship. This forecast has a little bit of everything… including storms!

The first Birdie of the 124th Wisconsin State Amateur goes to … South Dakota State golfer Bryson Merciery of Powers, Mich.

7:33

From our Gary D’Amato:

Loved this exchange between a caddie and the 10th tee starter before the 1st round of the @WSGAGolf State Amateur at The Lido:

Caddie - “What about footprints in the bunkers?”

Starter - “What about them?”

In other words, play it down.

7:29

10th tee starter John Hogan gives instructions to the first group off No. 10. Sand Valley caddie Sam Cianciola will be the first to play there

7:28

South Dakota State golfer Bryson Mercier is first to the tee on No. 1 but The Lido club champion Connor Doherty of Winnetka, Ill., will hit the first tee shot off that side

Good morning and welcome to the 124th Wisconsin State Amateur Championship from The Lido at Sand Valley Golf Resort near Nekoosa.

Gary D'Amato and I will be handling coverage from the State Am from the first tee shot Monday through the final putt on Thursday. Check back for updates throughout the week.

Be advised that WiFi away from the clubhouse is spotty and we may be limited as to when and where we can provide updates. But we will do our best to keep you updated with the latest from Central Wisconsin while we take photos, walk the grounds and conduct video interviews with the leaders and other interesting participants in this year's field.
