GOLF ROUNDUP : January Leads Seniors in Puerto Rico With 67

Don January, the oldest player in the field, used an eagle three to help him to a five-under-par 67 and the first-round lead Friday in the season-ending Champions tournament on the Senior PGA Tour at Dorado, Puerto Rico.

January, 62, was one of the founding members of the highly successful senior tour but has not won in four seasons.

A $1-million purse will determine the money-winning title for the season, but the four players who have a chance to win were unable to match January’s bogey-free effort in gusty winds that raked the Dorado Beach resort.

Jim Colbert was the best of those four at 69. George Archer, the leader in the money standings with $821,455, shot a 71.

Chi Chi Rodriguez shot a 75, Mike Hill, second to Archer with $765,657, had a 70, and Walt Zembriski and Orville Moody shared second at 68.

Defending champion Betsy King defeated Caroline Keggi 4 and 3 during a rain-soaked second round of the $500,000 LPGA World Match Play Championship at Princeville, Hawaii.

King was 2-up at the turn when rain forced a 40-minute delay at the Princeville Resort’s 6,212-yard, par-72 Makai Course.
