Lindenman finished with three birdies and eight pars on the day, shooting 5-over on the front 9 before rebounding with a 1-under on the back.

Andy Hutchins, Conner Juilfs, Shaan Desai and Jimmy Siebert all carded 7-over 78, contributing to a five-way tie for seventh.

Representing the gold team, Matt Haley shot 80 to tie for 12th. Nathan Molstead of the red team and Mike Rundle of the gold team shot 10-over 81 to tie for 16th.
