Brown Deer isn't the pushover it used to be -- even though 62 players broke par and another two dozen matched it.
"This course is awesome right now," Kelly said. "You get a little wind and a little sunshine out there, this weekend it's going to be a tough golf course. And you never heard that about Brown Deer before. You hear it's a good golf course, but not tough. This weekend, it could be tough."
An unusually wet summer contributed to the thick rough on the 6,759-yard layout.
Gamez was in the rough twice, on the par-3 14th, where he chipped in from 30 feet for birdie, and again on No. 18, where he missed a birdie putt that would have given him the outright lead.
