Trio on top at Toshiba Classic

Golf Betting Lines

03/05/2010 - Newport Beach, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former PGA Champion Bob Tway, Mark Wiebe and Chien-Soon Lu each fired six-under 65s on Friday to share the first-round lead of the Toshiba Classic.

Fred Couples, already a winner after two Champions Tour starts and the leading money earner this year, Olin Browne, Lonnie Nielsen and Mike Goodes are knotted in fourth place at five-under 66.

Tway first broke into red figures with a short birdie putt at the par-five third. At the fifth, Tway hit a good seven-iron to 20 feet and poured in the birdie effort. He tapped in two more short birdie putts at six and seven to make three in a row.

Tway made another little birdie at the 10th, but dropped a shot at No. 11 when he missed a very short putt. Two holes later, Tway rolled in a 12-footer for birdie to get back to five-under par.

At the par-five 15th, Tway reached the green in two and two-putted for birdie. He had a good look at birdie at the 17th, but his nine-footer stayed above ground.

Tway missed the green at the par-five closing hole and "fluffed" his chip. He pitched his fourth to six feet and converted the par putt to stay atop the leaderboard.

"I played pretty well today," said Tway, an eight-time winner on the PGA Tour. "I hit my irons exceptionally well. I hit a few wayward drives. I was able to kind of recover from those and get them on the green and take advantage of the good iron shots I had."

Wiebe, a Champions Tour winner in 2007 and 2008, started on the 10th tee Friday and promptly birdied his first two holes, both from around 15 feet. He rattled off back-to-back birdies at 14 and 15 and the one at the par-five 15th was amazing.

He drove into a fairway bunker and had to choke down to the metal on a five- iron. Wiebe's ball was at waist-level and he punched it down the fairway. He hit an eight-iron to 10 feet and cashed in on the birdie putt.

"It was not looking very well," admitted Wiebe of the 15th hole.

Wiebe made a short birdie putt at the 18th and his lone birdie of the front side came from 25 feet at the third. He parred his last six for his share of the lead.

"I'm extremely happy," said Wiebe, who played sick with a sore throat on Friday. "I'm real, real happy to be bogey-free on this golf course. I kind of kept my game plan and kept it in the fairway and get it on the green."

Lu, a Champions Tour rookie who tied for ninth at the Allianz Championship, tallied five birdies and a bogey through his first 10 holes. He birdied the par-three 13th and par-five 18th for his piece of first.

Defending champion Eduardo Romero, Wayne Levi, Ronnie Black, Loren Roberts, Tom Lehman, D.A. Weibring, Bobby Wadkins and Gary Hallberg are knotted in eighth place at four-under 67.

NOTES: Bernhard Langer, who holed out for eagle to defeat John Cook in a playoff at the Allianz Championship, shot a one-under 70 and is tied for 26th place...Tom Watson, who won the season-opener in Hawaii, posted a two-under 69 and shares 20th.
