The round began with ups and downs, including a bogey on the 2nd hole after struggling to reach the green. He bounced back with a birdie on the 6th, followed by another bogey on the 7th, but recovered again with a birdie on the 8th to make the turn at even par.

On the front nine, he played steady golf, adding a birdie on the 11th and avoiding further mistakes. His 69 moved him up to T46.
Jeremy Paul fades late but makes the cut

Trouble came late, starting with a poor drive that led to a bogey. He recovered with a birdie on 17 but stumbled on the 18th, needing extra shots to reach the green and three-putting for a double bogey. His 73 left him at even par for the tournament, just inside the cut line.
