Weekley Birdied From Round U.s.

Golf Betting Lines

Reigning U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy (69) and 2001 British Open champion David Duval (70) are part of a group tied at minus-four.

 

The two first-round leaders are next on the leaderboard. Doug LaBelle shot 67 and is alone in fourth at minus-14, while 2000 U.S. Amateur champion Jeff Quinney posted a 68 and is alone in fifth at 13-under-par 131.

 

Weekley, whose best tour finish was a share of third earlier this year at the Chattanooga Classic, started on the 10th tee Friday and opened with back-to- back birdies to get to nine-under. After he parred the next four holes, Weekley birdied 16 and 18 to turn in minus-11.

 

Weekley, who turns 33-years-old on Sunday, caught fire down the stretch. He birdied the par-four fifth and came right back with a birdie on six. Weekley was not done.

 

"I've just been focused on hitting the fairways," Weekley stated. "I'm hitting it solid, but there are a couple of shots I haven't mastered yet in my swing of thoughts. Basically out here it is going to be a putting contest. I hit a lot of good putts today."

 

The 37-year-old Duke parred his next four holes. He ran off three birdies in a row from the sixth to move into a share of second place.

 

After three pars in a row around the turn, Barnes carded four more birdies on the front nine to gain his share of second place.

 

Nick Flanagan fired a nine-under 63 of his own. He stands at 12-under-par 132 and he shares sixth place with Josh Broadaway and Justin Bolli.
