CONOVER, N. John Ross Bengals Jersey .C. - Jay Haas and Joe Durant shot 8-under 63 on Friday to share the first-round lead in the Champions Tours Greater Hickory Kia Classic.The 60-year-old Haas, the 2005 and 2009 champion, had an eagle and seven birdies on the first 14 holes at Rock Barn Golf and Spas Champions Course, dropped a stroke on the par-4 15th and closed with three pars.Still, it was Haas best single round this season on the 50-and-over tour. It also extended his streak of sub-par rounds in Champions Tour events to 21.I had a great start, said Haas, who won the last of his 16 Champions Tour titles in June 2012 in Des Moines, Iowa. It was pretty magical. I played well all day, expect for the bogey where I three-putted. But overall, I couldnt be happier.Ive been playing well, and still playing well from earlier in the year. I drove the ball well, my irons were good and my putting was good today. It was nice to make those putts, and to get off to that start.The 50-year-old Durant — who teed off on the back nine — rebounded from bogeys on Nos. 14 and No. 17 to shoot a 7-under 28 over his final nine holes.That equaled the tournament record for a nine-hole stretch, first set in 2011, and the Champions Tour mark for lowest nine-hole score this season.Durant went on to finish with eight birdies and an eagle, and posted his lowest round since joining the tour in April.Id have a good birdie, then Id three-putt the next hole, said Durant, a four-time winner on the PGA Tour. I kept giving (the birdies) right back. But I was fortunate to make a birdie on No. 18 to turn (his first nine holes) at 1 under.After that, I felt that I was onto something. I made some good putts. The greens were very receptive, and the ball was rolling good. You could do some stuff out there.Roger Chapman and Scott Dunlap shot 65. Kirk Triplett, a two-time winner this season, was another stroke back along with Bill Glasson, Mike Goodes, John Riegger and Rocco Mediate.Colin Montgomerie opened with a 69. A two-time major winner this season, Montgomerie is second in the Charles Schwab Cup standings — 771 points behind Bernhard Langer with three events left.Langer is skipping the tournament after finishing third last year. He has a tour-high five victories, two of them majors. Jordan Willis Youth Jersey .
