MORE PRO GOLF FROM FRIDAY

DICK’S SPORTING GOODS OPEN

ENDICOTT, N.Y.

Scott Dunlap shot an 8-under-par 64 on Friday to take the first-round lead at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open. Dunlap began the round with a bogey at No. 1, then rallied with four birdies in a five-hole span before the turn at En-Joie Golf Club and reeled off five straight birdies to start the back nine. He leads Glen Day, Bart Bryant, and John Riegger, who were tied for second at 66. Gibby Gilbert III, Kevin Sutherland, Paul Goydos and Joe Durant were another shot back in a tie for fifth. John Daly, Steve Lowery and Jay Haas were among nine players at 4 under, Frenchman Jean Van de Velde shot 75 in his Champions Tour debut, and Vijay Singh shot 3-under 69. Defending champion Jeff Maggert had an even-par 72.

SCOTTISH OPEN

INVERNESS, SCOTLAND

Alex Noren of Sweden took advantage of calmer conditions to shoot a 6-under 66 and take a one-stroke lead at the Scottish Open, on a day of lower scoring in the second round Friday. Danny Lee of New Zealand (66) and Eddie Pepperell of England (67) were a shot behind Noren, who had an 8-under 136 total at Castle Stuart. Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson, two of the top names in the field, made the cut after shooting rounds of 69 but were nine shots off the lead. Matteo Manassero and Branden Grace (both 67) were in a four-way tie for fourth on 6-under overall. Winds were lighter after a blustery first round over the links in northern Scotland. The British Open is staged in Western Scotland next week.
