2 teams share Zurich Classic lead

-

Chez Reavie had quite a few good moments at TPC Louisiana on Thursday in Avondale, La. So did teammate Lucas Glover.

In best-ball format, the most important thing was those moments came on different holes.

Reavie and Glover teamed to shoot a 12-under 60 for a share of the Zurich Classic lead with China’s Zhang Xinjun and Dou Zecheng.

“Chez started well and I picked it up in the middle of the back nine,” Glover said. “He closed it off and then we both played really well on the front. Just kind of ham and egged it, I guess, as they would say.”

Reavie and Glover each had six birdies in the best-ball format, pushing through soggy weather early in the round before conditions cleared at TPC Louisiana. Six teams are two shots back in a tie for third after shooting 62.

Tony Finau-Daniel Summerhays, Chris Paisley-Tommy Fleetwood, J.J. Henry-Tom Hoge, Michael Kim-Andrew Putnam, Kevin Kisner-Scott Brown and Troy Merritt-Brendon de Jonge shot 62. Jason Day and Ryan Ruffels shot 64.

The Madison duo of Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly opened up with a 67.

LPGA Tour: Lydia Ko shot a 4under 68 on a chilly morning at the MEDIHEAL Championsh­ip for a share of the first-round lead in Daly City, Calif.

Jessica Korda, Caroline Hedwall, In-Kyung Kim and Su Oh joined Ko atop the leader board in the circuit’s return to Lake Merced after a year away.

The Swinging Skirts LPGA winner at the course in 2014 and 2015, Ko eagled the par-5 fifth and had four birdies and a bogey.

Lexi Thompson, Sei Young Kim, Charley Hull and Celine Herbin shot 69.
