Brad Kivimets remained on his overnight score of four under to share the lead with Bryce Hohnen at the completion of the first round.

Stieger was the big mover on Friday morning, moving to two under par and a tie for fourth spot, just two shots off the lead.

Pilon also finished under par with a 71 to be in a share of 10^th spot.
