Reavie in lead

Chez Reavie enjoyed the pure weather almost as much as watching putts go in. He opened with an 8-under 63 at Monterey Peninsula to take the lead Thursday after one round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Pebble Beach, Calif. Some of the biggest stars had to settle for simply enjoying the sunshine. Jordan Spieth struggled with his short game — typically a strength — and opened with a 71 at Spyglass Hill. Jason Day also had a 71 at Spyglass, while Bubba Watson opened with a 73. Freddie Jacobson made five birdies in a six-hole stretch at Pebble Beach for a 7-under 65. Cameron Smith and Bronson Burgoon were at 7-under 64 at Monterey Peninsula. Justin Rose had a 66 to join J.B. Holmes with the best score at Spyglass. Phil Mickelson shot a 68 at Spyglass. Andrew Landry (Arkansas Razorbacks) had a 1-under 70. Bryce Molder (Conway) shot an even-par 71. David Lingmerth (Razorbacks) had a 1-over 72 and Ken Duke (Arkadelphia, Henderson State) was at 6-over 78.

Justin Harding fired a 7-under 63 to take a one-shot lead after the first round of the European Tour’s Tshwane Open in Pretoria, South Africa, on Thursday. Harding’s round featured eight birdies and a single bogey as only 22 players managed to go under par at Pretoria Country Club. Harding was at the head of five South Africans at the top of the leaderboard. Anthony Michael was 6 under par, Theunis Spangenberg 5 under, Jaco van Zyl 4 under and Merrick Bremner 3 under. Charl Schwartzel was in a tie for 38th after opening with a 1-over 71. The Tshwane Open is the fifth European Tour event in South Africa this season. Home players have won three of the other four.
