Arendell, who qualified for the U.S. Open earlier this summer, shot a stage best 268(-20) to finish first overall in the first stage, which included a final-round, 4-under 68.

In two seasons at UCF, Arendell averaged 73.46 strokes per round after competing in 23 tournaments. In his second season, Arendell averaged 72.43, one of the best single-season averages in program history.
