Rockland Community College holds an 8-stroke lead over Nassau as all the teams headed into the clubhouse after the first round of the 2011 Region XV Golf Championship at the Philip J. Rotella Golf Course in Haverstraw.  After Thursday's round, four Rockland golfers tallied 324 while Nassau fired a total of 332.  Suffolk sits in third place with a 341 and Orange collected a score of 362, which is good enough for fourth place.
  
Nassau's Corey Huberty is the tournament's leader after a 3-over par 75.  Monroe Woodbury graduate Colby Lewis is tied with Rockland teammate Dan Gizzi after an opening round score of 76. Gizzi, a North Rockland graduate, completed a career-best round.
