Pavin Cards 66, Sets First Round Pace At Administaff Classic
The Woodlands, TX, United States (AHN) – The Ryder Cup is over and done, now Corey Pavin can get back to the business of playing golf.
Pavin played and played well Friday at the Woodlands’ tournament course in the first round of the Administaff Classic. The Ryder Cup captain used only 24 putts on his way to a six-under par 66 and a two-shot lead over Mark Wiebe.
Pavin shot nines of 33-33 and had just a single bogey. Wiebe had a bogey-free round with five birdies en route to his 67.
Russ Cochran, winner twice this season, was alone at 69, three-under and three back of Pavin.
After that it got really crowded. Ten players were tied at two-under par 70 including Jay Haas, Jay Don Blake and Hal Sutton.
Fred Couples and Tom Lehman finished their first round with one-under par 71s.
Some big name players found the going tough during the first round. Bernhard Langer, leading contender for Player of the Year honors on the Champions Tour, struggled with one of his worst days of the season and soared to a 79.
Kenny Perry, making his Champions Tour debut shot 78 and managed only one birdie all day.
He had double bogeys at the ninth and 17th holes and at one point starting at the 11th hole, made four straight bogeys.
