LUTZ, FLA. (AP) - Larry Nelson shot a 6-under 65 to take a one-shot lead over Nick Price after the first round of the Outback Pro-Am on Friday.
Nelson got going with a chip-in for par at No. 13 at the Champions Tour event at TPC Tampa Bay. He then had birdies at Nos. 16, 1, 3 and 8.
The last time the 61-year-old Nelson held first place outright was at the SAS Championship in September 2001. The last time the three-time major winner had a 65 was more than two years ago.
Price, who also has won three majors, started off with a bogey at 12, but then birdied No. 13. He had five birdies on his back nine, including four in a row starting at No. 5.
Mark McNulty and Mike McCullough had 67s, while Jay Haas shot a 68.
