Reno (United States) (AFP) - American Zack Sucher fired nine birdies and no bogeys for 18 points to seize a three-point edge over countryman Patrick Rodgers after the first round of the PGA Barracuda Championship.
The 28-year-old tour rookie had four birdies on the front nine and birdied five of the first seven holes on the back nine to grab the lead in the unique tournament, which features a Modified Stableford scoring system assigning point values to shots rather than registering a score relative to par.
