Playing at par-72 Spyglass Hill, Lozano and Todd combined to card four eagles with nine birdies and five pars. Lozano got the duo going by holing out from the greenside bunker on No.2 for a net eagle. Later on No.9, it was Todd’s turn to shine, as he sank a 90-foot putt for a net eagle. Both players birdied the par-3 15th for a net ace.
In Monday’s first round at Del Monte Golf Course, the two longtime friends shot a 9-under 63.
“It was just ham and egg all day,” Lozano said. “We didn’t give a stroke back the entire tournament. If one guy was having a bad hole, the other guy was having at least a pretty good hole.”
In their championship debut last year, the pair finished fifth.
Taking second place at 121 was Sacramento Golf Club (2), who also went deep with a 14-under 58.
