Firing a first round 7-under 65, Marchesani looked in fine form from the get go, racing out of the gate with three birdies on the first three holes.
A bogey on four stunted his momentum but he was able to quickly re-gather composure with three more birdies to close the front-9.
“It was a nice start, especially out here it’s always nice to get a few birdies early,” Marchesani said following his opening round.
“It gets your confidence going on the greens and you’re able to try and wiggle a few in.”
