Yesterday was the Pro Am portion of the tournament, and after day one Ryan Conn has gotten out in front of the pack. He finished shooting a 6-under Par 65 in Monday's open round. He holds a two stroke lead over Neil Johnson, Eric Johnson, and Drew Dvorak all shot 67's. Conn finished his first round with seven birdies and one bogey.
