ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING, Texas -- Jeff Sluman birdied the last three holes in a 7-under 63 Thursday, and held the first-round lead at the $5.6 million Byron Nelson Championship.
Billy Andrade, whose only bogey came on his final hole, was at 64 along with Jim Furyk and Kevin Sutherland. Vijay Singh and 1996 Nelson champ Phil Mickelson were among 11 players at 65.
Sluman played the 6,846-yard Cottonwood Valley course, but, as has been normal at the Nelson, the scores were still lower there than across the street at the par-70, 7,022-yard TPC at Las Colinas.
Of the 33 players who shot 66 or better Thursday, 23 played Cottonwood Valley.
