The front nine proved to be a setback for Weyburn's Graham DeLaet in the first round of the Puerto Rico Open in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.

DeLaet started on the back nine this morning, sinking two birdies on the par 4 14th and par 5 18th.

However, one birdie on the par 5 fifth wouldn't make up for the two bogeys on the third and eighth holes, and a double bogey on his final ninth hole.

DeLaet ended the first round, having shot one-over 73.

As of 4:30 p.m. Saskatchewan time, he sits tied at 104th place.

DeLaet is to tee-off in the second round on Friday at 10 a.m. Saskatchewan time.

Graham DeLaet will look to rebound from last week when he takes the course this morning at the Puerto Rico Open, being played in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. The Weyburn native mised the cut at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week.

Ranked 59th in the FedEx Cup standings, and 135th overall, DeLaet has played in the Puerto Rico Open three times in his career. His best finish at the tournament was 9th in 2012, and his worst was a tie for 18th in 2013. Last year, he finished in a tie for 11th at the tournament.
