CARY, N.C. (AP) -- Doug Garwood birdied seven of the final 11 holes for a 7-under 65 and the first-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions' SAS Championship.
Winless on the 50-and-over tour, the 53-year-old Garwood birdied only one of the four par 5s - the ninth at Prestonwood Country Club in the final regular-season event of the year.
Brad Faxon was a stroke back at 66, and Bernhard Langer and Larry Mize shot 67. The 59-year-old Langer leads the tour with four victories and earnings of $2,512,659. He won the 2012 event and tied for third the last two years.
