Western Washington's Jacob Koppenberg, who wrapped up his career last spring, made a final birdie on the finishing par-5 18th to grab a one-stroke lead after the first round of the 16th Sahalee Players Championship in Sammamish.

Koppenberg's 5-under 67 was bogey-free, and one shot better than Wisconsin's Dan Woltman (68), who captured the Northeast Amateur in record-setting fashion last weekend, and flew out to Sahalee Country Club this week to play.

Two strokes back is a group of four golfers, including University of Washington senior-to-be Nick Taylor, and former Husky standout Derek Berg (69).

Lacey's Cameron Peck is in a group tied for ninth at 71. Tacoma's Andrew Putnam shot a 76, and is tied for 48th.
