Listowel's Corey Conners and fellow Canadian Mackenzie Hughes shot a 2-under-69 in their first round at the Olympic golf event.
That puts them in a tie for 20th. The leader is Austria's Sepp Straka at 8-under.
Conners second round tees off tonight at 11:36 eastern.
Family, friends and many others have 6 a.m. eastern Friday circled on their calendar.
That's when Lucknow's Julie Anne Staehli will run in the first heat of the 5000 m. There are a total of 38 competitors listed for the event, 19 split into two heats.
The top five in each heat will advance along with the next five best times.
