AVONDALE, La. - To say Alex Prugh's day at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on Thursday was like a roller coaster ride might be an understatement. He started the day on level ground, went up, went down, back up and eventually ended up right where he began.

Prugh started his day at TPC Louisiana with a bogey on No. 1 but headed in a different direction on the scorecard for the next 12 holes. He stayed bogey-free and birdied No. 2, 7, 11 and 13 to drop to -3. On No. 15 the tides turned and he bogeyed that hole plus 17 and 18 to end with an even-par 72.

Jason Bohn shot a first round 7-under 65 and has a two stroke lead over five others. Prugh is tied with 26 other golfers in 60th place.

Prugh will tee off for Friday's second round at 8:30 a.m. local time (6:30 a.m. PT) on the 10th tee.
