SNOQUALMIE, Wash. (AP) — Nick Price birdied five of his last seven holes and surged into the lead with a 9-under 63 in the first round of the Champions Tour’s Boeing Classic on Friday.

Tom Pernice Jr. had a pair of eagles and is two shots back after a 64, and Hal Sutton and Bernhard Langer each shot 66.

Price got off to a fast start with birdies on his first four holes. His only bogey of the round came at the 5th, when he three-putted from nearly 45 feet out.

Price then went on a birdie barrage on the back nine, with pars coming on Nos. 14 and 18 during his seven-hole stretch to close the round.

Hometown favorite Fred Couples shot a 68.
