QUEBEC CHAMPIONSHIP

QUEBEC CITY

Chip Beck eagled his final hole for a 7-under 65 and a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Champions Tour’s Quebec Championship. The 57-year-old Beck, winless on the 50-and-over tour, hit his 3-wood approach from 256 yards to a foot to set up the eagle on the par-5 ninth hole. The four-time PGA Tour winner also had six birdies and a bogey at La Tempete in the first PGA Tour-sanctioned event in the area since the 1956 Labatt Open at Royal Quebec. Duffy Waldorf and Craig Thomas were tied for second. Thomas, a club professional at Metropolis in White Plains, New York, went through two stages of qualifying to get into the field. Brad Faxon, Loren Roberts and P.H. Horgan III followed at 67.

CHIQUITA CLASSIC

DAVIDSON, N.C.

Derek Fathauer shot his second straight 6-under 66 to take the second-round lead in the Chiquita Classic, the second of four events in the Web.com Tour Finals. Fathauer, 12th on the Web.com Tour’s regular-season money list to secure a 2014-15 PGA Tour card, had seven birdies in an eight-hole stretch from No. 17 to No. 6 at River Run Country Club. The top 25 players on the Web.com money list are competing against each other for PGA Tour priority, with regular-season earnings counting in their totals and the final leader getting a spot in The Players Championship. The other players — Nos. 26-75 from the Web.com Tour money list and Nos. 126-200 in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup standings — are fighting for another 25 cards based on their earnings in the four tournaments.
