Green takes Texas Open lead with 62
Golf Betting Lines
10/09/2008 -
San Antonio, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nathan Green was flawless until he hit into
a bunker at the par-three 17th and walked off with a bogey.
His slim chances of shooting a 59 in the past, the 33-year-old Australian
settled for an eight-under 62 and the first-round lead Thursday at the Texas
Open.
"We managed to make a few putts early on and just got on a real run," said
Green.
He had a two-shot lead on Olin Browne and Paul Claxton, who both opened with
rounds of six-under 64 to share second place.
Nick O'Hern, Jason Gore, Chad Collins, Patrick Sheehan, Tim Herron and Greg
Kraft were tied for third place at five-under 65 -- part of a group of 30
players who were within five shots of Green's lead.
After making his first birdie at No. 4, Green ticked off five birdies in a row
from the sixth, breaking a seven-way tie for the lead when he rolled in a 23-
foot birdie putt at the 10th.
O'Hern, Gore, Collins, Sheehan, Herron and Kraft were all in the clubhouse
already at five-under.
Green started another good run with a seven-foot birdie at the 13th, followed
by birdie at the 14th. After that, Green admitted he started thinking about
something only three players in PGA Tour history have ever done.
"I did actually start thinking about [shooting a 59] on the 15th," admitted
Green.
But not long after the thought came, it went.
Green drained a 25-foot putt for birdie at the 16th, moving to nine-under on
the par-70 La Cantera layout, but he put his next tee shot into a bunker at
the 17th and walked off with bogey.
It was the only green the player named Green missed all day.
"I was just trying to hit as many as I could," he said, "mainly because I
don't usually putt that well on Bermuda (grass)."
Green missed an eight-footer for birdie at the 18th hole, but still ended up
with the best round of his PGA Tour career. He previously shot a 63 in the
second round of last year's John Deere Classic.
"It was a surprising round," said Green, who is winless on the PGA Tour. "I
wasn't really expecting a great deal."
This is the third event in the PGA Tour's Fall Series, a seven-tournament
swing that usually features players jockeying for position on the money list
to secure their cards for next season.
Green currently stands 101st on the money list -- for the moment, safely
inside the top 125 for an automatic card.
