Massy Kuramoto Leads Senior PGA Championship
FRENCH LICK, Ind. — Massy Kuramoto's approach to the difficult Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort was simple.
"If I'm going to hit straight and hit the fairway, I can play 2 over, 3 over. I tried to play 1 over front nine, 1 over back nine," he said, grinning, with both index fingers upraised.
Kuramoto did even better than that Thursday in the first round of the Senior PGA Championship.
He shot a 1-under 71 to take the lead.
Defending champion Colin Montgomerie, Billy Andrade, Barry Lane, Jean Francois Remesy and Bart Bryant were a shot back. Bernhard Langer, Tom Lehman and Scott Verplank were in the large group at 73 on a difficult day for golf.
