Gainey, Grillo co-lead at Hotel Fitness Championship

Consistent with the character of the Web.com Tour Finals, two players with vastly different career paths sit atop the leaderboard early on.

Tommy Gainey and Emiliano Grillo took the opening-round lead at the Hotel Fitness Championship, the first tournament in the four-event Web.com Tour Finals series, after each firing a 6-under 66 at Sycamore Hills Golf Club.

The two scorecards, though, were far from identical. Grillo calmly posted two birdies on his front nine to shoot out in 34 before exploding on the backside. The 22-year-old Argentinian birdied four of his first six holes on the second side and parred in from there for a clean, bogey-free round.
