Guanlao posted a nearly opposite performance early in his round with three birdies and two bogeys in his first five holes. The Haslet, Texas native then registered eight straight birdies to sit at 1-under par with five holes remaining. He settled for a 2-over after carding three bogeys down the stretch.
