Christo Lamprecht opened with a fine five-under-par 65 on Thursday, but that was five strokes off the lead after the first round of the Korn Ferry Tour’s Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Wichita Open at Crestview Country Club in Wichita, Kansas.

Two late bogeys, on the eighth and ninth, after he started his round on the 10th, ultimately hamstrung Lamprecht’s opening efforts, but keeping in touch with the 11-under 59 from Adrien Dumont de Chassart of Belgium was always going to be difficult.

Dumont de Chassart had 12 birdies and a bogey in the morning round at storm-damaged Crestview Country Club, with players allowed to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the fairways because of wet conditions. It was the 14th sub-60 round on the tour.

“Honestly, with all the rain and storms that they got, I thought the course was in really good shape,” Dumont de Chassart said. “Greens were rolling nice. You still got some bounces on the green, which is pretty impressive with all the rain they got. It was ideal, right, 80 degrees, about to be 95 the next two days. Probably blowing about 10 miles per hour max. It was a good day to shoot 59 that’s for sure.”

MJ Daffue carded a four-under 66 for a share of 26th. He made an eagle, four birdies and two bogeys. Barend Botha was down in a share of 90th on one-under 69.
