Gainey Shares First Round Lead At Wyndham

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Jeff Quinney and Tommy Gainey shot 7-under 63s on Thursday to share the lead after one round at the Wyndham Championship. Quinney had eight birdies, including five in a row early in his round, to start strong in his last chance to qualify for golf’s postseason. Gainey had five birdies and an eagle in matching his career-best round. Both players are chasing their first PGA Tour victory. Stuart Appleby had a 64. Paul Casey, Carl Pettersson, Ernie Els, Jason Bohn, Jimmy Walker, Tim Herron, Lee Janzen, Jim Furyk, Vijay Singh and George McNeill shot 65s during another low-scoring day at Sedgefield Country Club. Quinney arrived in 215th place in the FedEx Cup standings. A win — and the 500 points that accompany it — would put him in The Barclays. Copyright 2011 The Associated Press.
