We’re sharing this on Tuesday, June 29, 2021 after the first day of qualifying for the 108th VSGA Amateur Championship at the Country Club of Petersburg. The first round saw 36 players under par, the low 32 players through 36 holes of qualifying will advance to match play. For this episode we’re sharing some of the interviews with did with players after the first round. We’ll start with Mehrbaan Singh, who’s six-under 66 put him in a tie for second.

Mehrbaan is tied with Teddy Zinsner at six-under. Next is our interview with Jeff Long, a mid-am from northern Virginia who played with Mehrbaan.

Among the players near the top is David Stanford. Stanford was runner up in the Amateur last year and coming off a victory at the VSGA Junior Match Play Championship at Winchester Country Club.

The afternoon wave of players saw more great scoring conditions and produced the best round of the day, a seven-under par 65 from Sam Jung of the University of Virginia.

Our last event from Monday was with Scott Shingler, the 49 year-old from Dominion Valley Country Club whose 3-under par 69 earned him a tie for 9th.
