Golf Roundup : Twitty and Roberts Share Westchester Lead at 66

Veteran Howard Twitty, seeking his first win since 1980, shot a 5-under-par 66 Thursday to share the first-round lead with Loren Roberts in the $700,000 Westchester golf tournament at Harrison, N.Y.

Twitty and Roberts, a non-winner, took advantage of the improved afternoon weather at the Westchester Country Club for a one-shot edge over Joey Sindelar.

It was far different for the morning starters, who played in a cold rain and gusty winds. Masters champion Sandy Lyle of Scotland, British Open titleholder Nick Faldo of England and Bernhard Langer of West Germany--all morning starters--had 74s.

Seve Ballesteros of Spain, a former winner here and a playoff loser last year, had a morning round of 72. Greg Norman of Australia also played in the morning and shot a 73.

Caroline Gowan, winless in four years on the LPGA Tour, holed a 95-yard shot for an eagle and chipped in to save par on the way to a 5-under-par 67 and the first-round lead in the $300,000 International tournament at Rochester, N.Y.

Rookie Danielle Ammaccapane and Sherri Steinhauer were tied for second at 68.

Bob Goalby shot a 6-under-par 66 to take a one-stroke lead over Bob Charles in the Senior Tournament Players Championship at Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
