A bogey on the par-4 ninth left him 1-under at the turn but he immediately followed with a birdie on the par-5 first. Dugger parred his next seven holes and ended the first round with a bogey on the par-4 ninth.

He was 2-over at the midway point of his round and trimmed a shot off that total with a birdie on the first. Following five pars, he birdied the par-4 seventh to get back to even before closing with consecutive bogeys.
