Langer returns to shoot 67, Byrum leads in Richmond (The Associated Press)

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Bernhard Langer shot a 5-under 67 on Friday in his return from a left knee injury, and Tom Byrum had a 65 to take the Dominion Charity Classic lead.

Langer missed the PGA Tour Champions' playoff opener last week in California after re-aggravating the injury at home doing routine spinning.

The 59-year-old German star leads the 50-and-over tour with four victories and has wrapped up the season money title with $2,697,459. He tops the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs standings, 1,038,941 points ahead of second-place Colin Montgomerie.

Byrum birdied three of the final four holes on The Country Club of Virginia's James River Course.
