THORNBURY, Ont. - There is a three-way tie at the top of the men’s leaderboard after first-round action at the 2010 Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) golf championship being played at The Raven Golf Club at Lora Bay in Thornbury, Ont.

Humber’s Adrian Cord, Niagara’s Ryan Curran and Confederation’s Trevor Desmoulin all shot an even par opening round of 72, one shot better than Humber’s Mark Hoffman and Niagara’s Chris Gardner. Ten golfers are within two shots of each other.
