Woody Austin Shoots 65 to Lead Tucson Conquistadores Classic

TUCSON, Ariz. — Woody Austin had six birdies in a seven-hole stretch and shot a 7-under 65 on Friday to take the first-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions' Tucson Conquistadores Classic.

Playing his final nine holes after opening on No. 10, the 52-year-old Austin birdied Nos. 2-5 and 7-8 on Omni Tucson National's Catalina Course.

"I basically hit it really close," Austin said. "I got jump-started, I holed out a bunker shot on 2 for birdie after hitting two really good shots and being dead. I didn't get my first one out of the bunker, and then I holed the next bunker shot for birdie, which really got me going.
