From staff reports

Brad Marek shot a 6-under-par 66 Friday to take a four-stroke lead after the first round of the Lilac City Invitational at The Fairways.

Fairways pro Derrick Campbell is alone in second after shooting a 2-under 70.

Li Wang and Eddie Heinen are five back of Marek following opening-round 71s. Community Colleges of Spokane golf coach Corey Prugh is in a group at 1-over 73 and tied for fifth.

Marek was in the PGA Championship field two weeks ago in Kiawah Island, South Carolina.

“Something tells me this course might play a touch easier for him this week,” Fairways pro Dakota White said.
