Nesse's hot round of 3-under, which included escaping the hardest hole of the day at Hunter Park, lifted her five spots into T1 with Florida's Trinity Bryant. It was one of four lead changes throughout the 10 divisions in Tulsa and FJ18 is one of seven divisions separated by fewer than four strokes.
They'll enter Round 2 with a two-stroke lead over Virginia Polkinghorne and three-stroke lead over Kayla Hess as action shifts back to Twin Bridges.

The biggest jump of the day and biggest shakeup in the leaderboard came in MJ18 as Ryan Monn, who took down the United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship earlier this year, jumped 16 spots into solo first place with a blistering 12-under, 1051-rated round at Blackhawk for a one-stroke lead. Monn birdied six-straight and was 7-under through nine holes.
