NAPLES, Fla. — Three-time champion Bernhard Langer shot his age Friday to take the first-round lead in the Chubb Classic.

Langer, the 64-year-old German star who has six Charles Schwab Cup season titles and 42 victories on the 50-and-over tour, had five straight birdies on the back nine in a bogey-free 8-under 64.

He has bettered his age once and matched it one other time on the tour.

“It’s just fun shooting your age,” Langer said.
