Four other golfers are two strokes off Jamieson's lead at 4-under 68 and six others are at 3-under.

Jamieson, in his first year on the tour, opened his round with a birdie at the 10th hole and added another at the 12th. After 14th-hole bogey, Jamieson posted back-to-back birdies at 15 and 16 and capped his first nine with a birdie at the 18th hole.

He got to 5-under on the day with a birdie at the first hole but gave that back at No. 4. A birdie at the fifth hole pulled him even with the early leaders and a 2 at the par-3, 160-yard eighth hole gave him the outright lead.
