VICTORIA, British Columbia (AP) -- Scott McCarron birdied five of the first six holes and finished with an 8-under 62 to take the first-round lead Friday in the Pacific Links Bear Mountain Championship.
The 51-year-old McCarron birdied all four par-5 holes - Nos. 1, 12, 13 and 18 - in chilly conditions at Bear Mountain Resort, the first-year venue in the PGA Tour Champions event that was played in Hawaii from 2012-14.
McCarron won the Principal Charity Classic in June in Iowa for his first victory on the 50-and-over tour after winning three times on the PGA Tour.
