ENDICOTT, N.Y. (AP) — Wayne Levi shot a 7-under 65 and has a one-shot lead over Brad Bryant and Dan Forsman after the first round of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open.
Bryant birdied seven of the first 10 holes to tie for the lead, parred the next seven, then bogeyed 18 to fall back to second.
Mark Calcavecchia, vying to become just the 16th player to win his first start on the Champions Tour, was another shot back in a tie for fourth with defending champion Lonnie Nielsen, Fred Funk, Olin Browne and Blaine McCallister.
Ken Green, in just his second start in a stroke-play event since a tragic RV crash a year ago resulted in the loss of the lower part of his right leg, finished 6-over 78 after playing the first 12 holes at even par.
