Kirby’s Opening Round
The Aquidneck Club pro got off to a fast start, birding two of the first five holes to quickly get to two under par.
Things were a bit of a rollercoaster from there.
Kirby doubled the seventh hole, but then birdied the eight hole to turn a 35.
On the back side, he bogeyed 10 and 14, before closing with birdies on 16 and 18 to post 1-under par for the day.
