Currently 40 golfers under par. Tuckaway absorbed a lot of rain in recent weeks. The greens are starting to firm up this afternoon.

1:26

Former Badger Blake Wisdom of Lake Geneva birdies Nos. 2 and 4 to get to 2-under. He is low man so far in the afternoon wave.

1:19

Just wrapped up interviews with the morning leaders. It's Marquette assistant coach Josh Robinson, a former Golden Eagle from Northern Ireland; current Marquette golfer Mason Schmidtke; and incoming Badgers freshman Cody Guetzke tied at the top at 5-under.

By my count, there were 23 rounds under par among golfers in the morning wave. More have joined that mix as the afternoon wave gets underway with little wind and a mostly sunny sky.

12:33

Josh Robinson bogeys 18. Three tied for the lead at 5-under as the afternoon wave begins

11:54

Getting as crowded at 5-under as it was at 3 and 4-under

11:10

Racine’s Daniel Conti, who was to tee off at 1:54, has also WD’d. He will be replaced by Seth Arthur of Wisconsin Rapids

11:03

Jack Schultz just stopped to say continued back and body issues have forced him to withdraw. He struggled through 11 holes

11:01

Cody Guetzke birdies 12 and the incoming Badger frosh (as we used to call freshmen at the UW’s Daily Cardinal) gets to 4-under

10:59

Daniel Mazziotta birdies 13 and he is the first to get to 5-under

10:53

The afternoon wave starts at 12:15

10:52

Pewaukee amateur Jackson Piacsek get up and down to make the turn 3-under. He is T-3

10:35

Russell Dettmering of Merrill birdies 10 and 12 to get to T-8. Check out his last three State Am/State Open finishes (eight is enough or enough of eighth?!)!

10:32

Mason Schmidtke’s dad started following at the turn after watching Max on the front nine. Mason birdies 11 to get ton3-under and share the lead

10:22

Back to back bogeys for Cameron Huss drop him to 2-under

10:21

We have eight golfers tied for the lead.

10:08

Huss bogeys 9 to fall to 3-under

Did we mention a perfect day for golf?

9:53

But Huss pars the par-5 16th and now faces the par-3 17th with toughest pin perhaps on the course

9:10

Middleton’s Emmet Herb birdies 3 & 4 to get to 2-under

8:49

Cameron Huss birdies 11 & 12 to join the crowd at 2-under

8:44

Golfers starting off the front have been able to attack earlier than golfers off the back. Tuckaway, which had some storm damage just over a week ago, looks lush.
