GOLF ROUNDUP : Floyd Picks Up Where He Left Off--in Front
Ray Floyd, 49, who last week became the oldest man in 17 years to win on the PGA Tour, made five consecutive birdies Thursday and tied for the first-round lead of the Honda Classic at Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
With a six-under-par 66 on the Weston Hills Country Club course, a new venue for this event, Floyd shared the top spot with Mike Donald and Keith Clearwater.
Clearwater tied for second when Floyd scored his first victory in six years last Sunday.
Pat Bradley, last year’s scoring leader, got her sixth birdie on the last hole to take a one-shot lead in the first round of the Ping-Welch’s Championship at Tucson.
Bradley’s five-under-par 67 was one shot ahead of Dottie Mochrie, whose threesome started on the back nine at the same time Bradley teed off on the front.
Bradley was one of 22 players in the starting field of 144 to break par-72 on the 6,243-yard Randolph North Golf Course, a city-owned layout.
