LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) — Kevin Streelman, Tom Whitney and Rico Hoey each shot 5-under 67 in windy conditions Thursday to share the first-round lead in the World Wide Technology Championship.
Winless on the PGA Tour since 2014, the 46-year-old Streelman opened his afternoon round at Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante with an eagle and a birdie. “It’s a tiring golf course, especially when it blows this hard out here,” Streelman said. “You have holes you need to take care of, with No.
1 being one of them. It’s kind of a downwind par 5, and 18 is a similar fashion. But then you turn into the wind.
” Whitney birdied the first three holes. “Starting the day on this golf course you’re thinking, `I need to get it to 6, 7, 8,’” Whitney said. “Then the wind starts blowing and you kind of temper those expectations.
I’m very pleased with 5 under.” Defending champion Erik van Rooyen was a stroke back at 68 with Taylor.
