Slade leads after first day of county tourney

Spencer Slade of Ann Arbor takes a one-shot lead into Sunday's final round of the Washtenaw County Men's Golf Championship after firing a 5-under par 67 Saturday at Pierce Lake Golf Course in Chelsea.

Slade, the 2007 Ann Arbor city champion, leads 2008 city champion Adam White by one shot. Neither has previously won the county tournament.

Rounding out the top four are 2008 Ann Arbor city senior champion John Richart, who shot a 2-under par 70, and three-time Ann Arbor city champion Andrew Walton, who fired a 1-under par 71.

Benign weather conditions and soft greens made it the lowest scoring opening day in tournament history. Five golfers in the field of 42 shot par or better for the day, and more than half the field broke 80.

The final threesome of Slade, White, and Richart tee off Sunday at 12:20.
