No one did that better on Course No. 6 at Pinehurst Resort than Chad Pfeifer, of Caldwell, Idaho, and Kim Moore, of Portage, Mich., who lead the men\u2019s and women\u2019s divisions, respectively, of this newest USGA championship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Pfeifer, 40, is no stranger to competition. Since losing his left leg in 2007 in an explosion while serving for the U.S. Army in Iraq, he has become a mainstay on the adaptive golf circuit, winning multiple amputee titles. Despite a closing bogey on the par-4 18th hole, Pfeifer assessed his round, which included two birdies and an eagle, as mostly positive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI started slow but I was steady,\u201d he said. \u201cGot a couple birdies on the back nine and then the eagle [on the par-5 15th hole] was big. Had 200 yards in and hit a nice little 5-iron to like 7, 8 feet, and made the putt. That was nice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Moore, 41, was born without a right foot and has a club left foot, along with spina bifida. She overcame those challenges to become a standout golfer at the University of Indianapolis and now works as a PGA professional and the head women\u2019s golf coach at Western Michigan University. She reminds her team about the lessons that come from tournament experience, and she took those to heart today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI always tell my players that bogeys don't kill you,\u201d Moore said. \u201cMy round was pretty ho-hum \u2013 a lot of pars, not a lot of birdies, nothing higher than a bogey. It\u2019s just trying to learn from your mistakes and hopefully put together another solid round [Tuesday].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>One stroke behind Pfeifer in the men\u2019s division is Simon Lee, of the Republic of Korea. The 25-year-old professional, who has autism, was 5 under par at one point during his round but a double bogey on the par-5 sixth hole (his 15th of the day) brought him back to the pack with a 1-under 71.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cToday was a roller coaster,\u201d said Lee. \u201cI had two eagles [on Holes 15 and 1] but a lot of mistakes. Hopefully I will make tomorrow [better] and try to hit it well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In third place behind Pfeifer and Lee is Jack Bonifant (neurological impairment), of Kensington, Md., who shot an even-par 72. Rounding out the top five are Chris Biggins (neurological impairment), of Birmingham, Ala., and Kipp Popert (neurological impairment), of England, both of whom shot 2-over 74.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On the women\u2019s side, Moore is four strokes clear of Ryanne Jackson (neurological impairment), of St. Petersburg, Fla., who shot 80. \u00a0Grace Anne Braxton (intellectual impairment), of Fredericksburg, Va., who had the honor of hitting the first tee shot of the championship on Hole 1, is in third place with an 85.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>What\u2019s Next<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Round 2 will take place on Tuesday, with tee times again beginning at 8 a.m. and continuing through 10:12 a.m. There is no cut, so all players will play the final round on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Notable<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><strong>Kurtis Barkley<\/strong>, of Canada, had a roller-coaster start to his round en route to making a bit of history. Beginning play on the par-4 10th hole, Barkley, who is of short stature, made a double-bogey 6. He followed it up with the first eagle in U.S. Adaptive Open history on the par-5 11th. \u201cI had a mindset.\u00a0Once the hole is over, I don't really dwell on it. I just step up to the next tee and it's a whole new hole.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Few players had as long a journey and yet as short a commute to this championship as\u00a0<strong>Eli Villanueva<\/strong>. He was born in the Philippines, emigrated to Hawaii when he was 13 and joined the military after high school. He spent much of his 20-plus-year career stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C. \u2013 less than an hour from Pinehurst \u2013 and continues to call the area home. Villanueva, who was left-handed, broke the radial head of his left arm and later took up golf. \u201cI learned to play golf with the impairment,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is all I know.\u201d He shot a 6-over 78, good for tie for 16th.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Five-time PGA Tour winner\u00a0<strong>Ken Green<\/strong>\u00a0did not card a birdie in his round of 5-over 77, but was still upbeat. \u201cI said to myself, if I shot 75 here, it would be a good round, so I can't really complain.\u201d The 63-year-old, who played in 13 U.S. Opens during his career, had his right leg amputated following an RV accident in 2009.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Typical for summertime in North Carolina, temperatures were in the low 90s with heat indexes approaching 100. However, none of the storms that dotted the area during Saturday\u2019s practice round and dropped more than 1.5 inches of rain were repeated on Monday.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span><strong>Quotable<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>\u201cIt was intense. It was a little different kind of pressure than when I was good because now you're not good but your brain still thinks like you are, so you really have to think your way around the course a lot more than when you could just swing and go.\u201d \u2013\u00a0<strong>Ken Green\u00a0<\/strong>(leg impairment), 63, West Palm Beach, Fla.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>\u201cI can't even explain how grateful I am about this all happening. I have only been in the adaptive community for about a year now but for some of these people who have been waiting for this tournament for such a long time, I'm sure it means the world to them. I love that the USGA is a part of this community now.\u201d \u2013\u00a0<strong>Amanda Cunha<\/strong>\u00a0(vision impairment), 18, of Kaneohe, Hawaii<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>\u201cThis is amazing. The guy I played with today, he had one arm and he hit the ball like 260. He was a fantastic golfer and everyone here, such great people. It\u2019s fantastic.\u201d \u2013\u00a0<strong>Mario Dino<\/strong>\u00a0(neurological impairment), 19, of Denver, Colo.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>\u201cIt's an honor. I can't sum it up any other way. This is a historical event. Just to be a part of it, I feel like a winner already. There's still the competitive spirit\u2026 I didn't quite have my best out there today, but I feel like tomorrow is a new day.\u201d \u2013\u00a0<strong>Jonathan Snyder<\/strong>\u00a0(arm impairment), 40, Charlotte, N.C.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span><em>Pinehurst N.C. \u2013 Results from Monday's first round of the 2022 U.S.\u00a0Adaptive Open\u00a0Championship, played at par-72\u00a0Pinehurst Resort &amp; Country Club (Course No. 6).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_1 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_1 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_1 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Women - Overall<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kim Moore, Portage, Mich.
