Tiger senior Tommy May shot 40 on the front nine but fired an ever par 36 on the back to finish tied for 13th place after the opening round of the Class AAA State Championships played Tuesday at Bunker Hills Golf Course.
May's 76 leaves him seven shots behind first round leader Joe Dutoit of Missota Conference rival Chaska who finished the day with a three-under par 69.
May, who tied for fourth at the Section 1AAA Championships last week, is just two strokes out of fifth place in the 88-player field.
The state meet concludes Wednesday with another eighteen-hole round at the Bunkers Hills course in Coon Rapids.
