Steele (63) takes lead at season opener
A new PGA Tour season is upon us, and several players got off to hot starts in the opening round in wine country. Here is how things stand at the Frys.com Open, where Brendan Steele leads by a shot:
Leaderboard: Brendan Steele (-9), Jhonattan Vegas (-8), Harold Varner III (-7), Justin Thomas (-6), D.H. Lee (-6), Justin Rose (-5), Graham DeLaet (-5)
What it means: Will Wilcox was the early leader, but he faded down the stretch and was surpassed by Steele, who nearly matched the course record with his first round of the new season. His closest pursuers include a veteran and an upstart rookie, while Thomas opened with a 66 to continue the momentum from a successful rookie campaign.
