KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii — David Toms and Joe Durant each shot 7-under 65 on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ season-opening Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai.
The 52-year-old Toms closed his bogey-free round with a 2-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th. He won the U.S. Senior Open last year for his first Champions title after winning 13 times on the PGA Tour.
The 54-year-old Durant also birdied the 18th. The four-time PGA Tour winner took the Chubb Classic last season for his third career victory on the 50-and-over circuit.
Miguel Angel Jimenez and Scott Parel were tied for third at 68.
