STRICKER MOVES AHEAD IN CONQUISTADORES CLASSIC

Steve Stricker shot a 10-under 63 in hot conditions Saturday to take a three-stroke lead in the Tucson Conquistadores Classic, putting him in position to win in his PGA Tour Champions debut. Stricker is trying to become the 19th player to win in their first start on the 50-and-over and first since Miguel Angel Jimenez in the 2014 Greater Gwinnett Championship. “I felt a little more comfortable today,” Stricker said. “Still a little nervous, but any time you’re playing well up and up around the lead there’s a little anxious moments here and there, but I’m handling those OK and, hopefully, I can do the same tomorrow and have a good opportunity. But need to play well. Low scores are out there.” /
