Birdie Helps Par In Lead

Golf Betting Lines

La Jolla, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Spencer Levin and Kyle Stanley both fired 10- under 62s on Thursday to grab a share of the lead after the first round of the Farmers Insurance Open. Levin and Stanley are both looking for their first PGA Tour victories. Both also played the easier North Course at Torrey Pines on Thursday and will rotate to the harder South Course on Friday. The South Course will also host the final two rounds.

 

Only six of the top-35 players on the leaderboard played the South Course on Friday. The leader of that group is Marc Turnesa, who carded a six-under 66 and is tied for 13th.

 

Among those that struggled on the South Course were Phil Mickelson and J.B. Holmes. Mickelson, who shared 49th at the Humana Challenge last week, faltered to a five-over 77 and tied for the most bogeys (seven) in the first round.

 

He birdied the ninth and followed with a 15-foot birdie putt on No. 10. The 27-year-old dropped his approach within four feet at the 11th. After knocking that in, he got up and down for par on the par-three 12th.

 

Levin caught fire from there, At the 13th, he left himself three feet for birdie. On each of the next three holes, he made birdie putts of eight feet on each hole to grab a share of the lead at minus-nine.

 

Stanley did his scoring in bunches. He birdied the first, then parred No. 2. He poured in three consecutive birdie efforts from the third to move to four- under.

 

Stanley birdied the 17th to move within two of Levin. He erased that deficit and grabbed a piece of the lead with a three-foot eagle putt at the 18th.

 

"It was good. I know it was a 62, but it was a pretty boring round of golf," said an understated Stanley. "Hit a lot of greens and made a lot of putts."

 

Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen fired a five-under 67 to move into the lead. He finished two rounds at seven-under-par 137 at Abu Dhabi Golf Club.

 

Matteo Manassero had the low round of the day as he fired a seven-under 65. That helped him jump into a share of second place at minus-six. He was joined there by Gareth Maybin, who carded a two-under 70 on Friday.
