Steele narrowly hangs onto lead at PGA Tour season opener (The Associated Press)

NAPA, Calif. (AP) -- Brendan Steele did just enough to keep the lead Saturday at the Frys.com Open, even though he missed a chance to do more.

As one player after another was piling up birdies on the closing three-hole stretch at Silverado, Steele managed three pars for a 3-under 69 and a one-shot lead over Andrew Loupe and Kevin Na.

Loupe had five straight birdies early and four straight birdies late for a 63 and was one shot behind. Na played the closing stretch in 3 under for a 64.
