Rhode Island’s Will Dickson fired an opening round 68 (4-under) in his Korn Ferry Tour debut on Thursday afternoon in the Club Car Championship at The Landings Club.

“A little different vibe for sure, but honestly once we got into the round and just got focusing on taking it one shot at a time, it felt like any other tournament round. But seeing fans out there and getting claps for good shots is always nice,’ Dickson told GolfNewsRI after the round.

Dickson sits four-shots back of co-leaders Mark Hubbard and Carl Yuan, with other players still to complete their first round.

It is unclear what time Dickson will tee off on Friday, given other players still need to finish their first round.
