Medicine Hat News Redcliff’s Ryan Werre has come out firing at the Alberta Open. The 25-year-old shot a 6-under 66 at River Spirit Golf Club near Calgary Tuesday, the best score of the first round by a shot thanks to six birdies and no bogeys. Werre didn’t get under par until the sixth hole, but then birdied four of the next five holes. Notably, he was 3-under on the course’s four par 3’s.
