SIBBICK-MCKNIGHT TEAM 3 SHOTS BACK AT WATER'S EDGE

Charlottesville's Larry Hund and Blandon Wright fired a 7-under-par 65 and charged into the first-round lead at the Water's Edge 4-Ball Invitational on Saturday.

Two teams are three strokes back at 68 and four are tied at 69.

The tournament, in its second year, is a two-man best-ball format and features 96 players (48 teams) from six states. Competition on the Water's Edge Country Club course concludes today.
