Local flavor

With the exception of former USC standout Kevin Stadler, who shot a 4-under 67, players with local ties didn't fare well in the opening round.

Corey Pavin (UCLA) and Anthony Kim (Studio City) were tied for 72nd at 1-over 72. Tom Lehman (former Wood Ranch pro) was tied for 88th at 73. Former UCLA standouts John Merrick (74) and Duffy Waldorf (75) were tied for 99th and 117th, respectively.

Jason Gore (Hart High/Pepperdine) and David Berganio Jr. (Granada Hills) were tied for 113rd after shooting 6-over 77s.

And Scott Miller (Simi Valley) was one of six players left on the course when darkness suspended play. Miller was at 7 over through 16 holes, and will have to complete the remainder of his round this morning.
