Logjam at the top
At one point Sunday, six players were tied for the lead. Tom Purtzer has moved to 10 under, a stroke ahead of Hale Irwin, David Eger and Fuzzy Zoeller. The last group is through 13 holes.
No longer bogey free
Jay Haas took a bogey-5 on the 421-yard sixth hole Saturday. It was just the second bogey for Haas in his past 78 holes, including last week’s Toshiba Classic in Newport Beach, which he won.
All Hale
Hale Irwin’s opening-round 64 matched the tournament course record at Valencia CC set by Larry Nelson (second round, 2001) and tied by Walter Morgan (final round, 2001), Joe Inman (final round, 2004) and Tom Kite (second round, 2006).
Iron Man
Bruce Summerhays extended his streak of events played for which he’s eligible to 155 at the AT&T Champions Classic in Valencia this weekend. Dana Quigley holds the Champions Tour record at 278 consecutive starts.
Down the middle
Tom McKnight and Tom Jenkins both hit all 14 fairways in the opening round. Fuzzy Zoeller led the field in greens in regulations, reaching 16 of 18.
No need for a ball mark
David Edwards used just 24 putts in the opening round, with 12 one-putt greens. That helped Edwards shoot a 6-under 66 to tie for second.
Teeing off
Tom Purtzer had the longest drive in the opening round, a 341-yarder on No. 10.
Going low
With an opening-round 68, Eduardo Romero posted his seventh consecutive round in the 60s, tying the season’s best mark set by Loren Roberts.
Birthday celebration
David Eger is celebrating his 55th birthday in style, shooting a 3-under 33 on the back nine (his first nine of the day).
Putt-putt
Scott Simpson (USC) wrapped up his opening round with an even-par 72. But he did keep an impressive streak going, reaching 134 consecutive holes without a three-putt.
