Golf Betting-Lowery Shines with 63

Steve Lowery took an early lead at the Buick Open in Michigan.

American Lowery posted an opening round of 63 at the par-72, 7,127-yard Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club in Grand Blanc to lead the early wave of starters.

Lowery's nine-under score was one better than that of Australian John Senden, who shot a 64.

Senden's compatriot James Nitties and South Korea's Y E Yang carded 65s.


Another Australian, Greg Chalmers, returned to the clubhouse with a six-under 66, as did American Paul Goydos, while two more Australians, Marc Leishman and Rod Pampling, as well as South African Rory Sabbatini, joined Americans Tom Byrum, Tom Pernice Jr, Chris Stroud and Jay Williamson at five under, four shots behind Lowery.

World number nine Jim Furyk, the only other top-10 ranked Golf Betting player in the field, shot a three-under 69, as did Fredrik Jacobson of Sweden and US Open runner-up David Duval, who is looking to make his first cut since that Bethpage Black finish in mid-June.

Scotland's Martin Laird finished at one under following a 71.
South Korea’s YE Yang and Australia’s James Nitties were one shot further back.

“It hasn’t been a great year for me but hopefully I can turn it around,” said Lowery, who has not had a top-20 finish this season.

Scotland's Martin Laird finished at one under following a 71.
