PEBBLE BEACH., Calif. (AP) Kevin Sutherland shot a 10-under 62 on Thursday to take a four-stroke lead over Rocco Mediate and Joel Kribel after the first round of the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational.
Sutherland, the runner-up this year in the PGA Tour's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, had eight birdies and an eagle on the Del Monte Golf Course.
"I drove the ball well, I hit my wedges well and I putted well," said Sutherland, the tournament winner in 2000. "At that's what you have to do on the course. Obviously, it's shorter than we're used to on the PGA Tour, but it's a good change of pace."
