Utah pro Dusty Fielding was thinking about hanging up his golf clubs. Then he shot a 64 Friday in first round of the Utah Open and is tied for 2nd

Provo • A couple more rounds like the one he had Friday, and Utah pro Dusty Fielding might have to rethink his plans to retire as a playing professional.

Fielding, 35, who grew up in Richfield and now calls Hurricane home, shot an 8-under-par 64 in the first round of the 92nd Siegfried & Jensen Utah Open at Riverside Country Club and is tied for second place with Arizona pro Blake Cannon in the 54-hole event.

Edward Olson, a former UNLV golfer from Aptos, Calif., leads the chase for the $20,000 first-place check after firing a bogey-free 63 in the morning when conditions were slightly easier.
