REGIONS TRADITION

BIRMINGHAM, ALA.

Kenny Perry shot a 2-under 70 to maintain a one-stroke lead over Bernhard Langer and Billy Andrade in the Regions Tradition. Perry had three birdies and a bogey to reach 10-under 134 at Greystone in the first of the year’s five PGA Tour Champions majors. The 2014 Regions Tradition winner has missed only one green in regulation. Conditions changed after his bogey-free opening 64. Tournament officials opted for a two-tee start because of weather concerns, with Perry and Langer starting on the 10th tee. The course received 0.14 inches of rain overnight and in the morning, forcing a 30-minute delay to start. Langer had a 69, and Andrade shot 68. Gene Sauers (70), Scott McCarron (66) and Kevin Sutherland were 8 under.

IRISH OPEN

STRAFFAN, IRELAND

Masters champion Danny Willett shot a 1-under 71 for a share of the lead in the Irish Open, leaving home favorite Rory McIlroy a stroke back. Willett, from England, matched Scotland’s Mark Warren (66) at 8-under 136 at The K Club. The third-ranked McIlroy, from Northern Ireland, had a 70.
