Goydos has one flub
Paul Goydos made eight birdies before his final drive sailed into a fairway bunker, blemishing what was almost an unmatched start in the Texas Open.
“I mean, you can’t have everything good happen for every moment of your life,” Goydos said.
Goydos, who publicly opened up this month about the death of his ex-wife in January and raising his two teenage daughters, shot a 7-under 63 on Thursday at La Cantera Golf Club in San Antonio for a share of the first-round lead with Justin Leonard. It’s the first time since 1999 that Goydos has opened a tournament with at least a share of the lead.
In the LPGA event, Helen Alfredsson of Sweden shot a career-best, 10-under 62 and took a two-stroke lead over Brittany Lincicome after the opening round of the LPGA Sybase Classic in Clifton, N. J.
Alfredsson’s round was the lowest on tour this year, and it left three-time defending champion Lorena Ochoa nine shots off the lead at the Upper Montclair Country Club.
