Reno, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeff Overton fired a seven-under 65 Thursday to
take a two-stroke lead after the opening round of the Reno-Tahoe Open at
Montreux Golf and Country Club.
Brian Davis, a two-time winner on the European Tour, posted a five-under 67
and shares second place with one-time Nationwide Tour winners Harrison Frazar,
Marco Dawson and John Merrick.
Jason Gore and former Masters champ Larry Mize are part of a large group tied
at minus-four.
Meanwhile, Michelle Wie had and up-and-down round Thursday as she carded four
bogeys and three birdies in a round of one-over 73. That left her tied for
77th, which is over the current cut line of even-par.
Wie tripped to a bogey at the first and missed the green at the fifth leading
to her second bogey. She bounced back with a five-foot birdie putt on six and
got back to even-par with a six-foot birdie putt at nine.
Around the turn, Wie found a bunker off the tee at the par-three 12th, then
blasted her second over the green. She managed to get up and down for bogey.
Wie dropped another shot on the 16th, but atoned for that error with tap-in
birdie on the par-five 17th. She parred the last from a greenside bunker to
card a 73.
Overton ran off four straight birdies from the second to fly up the
leaderboard. He made the turn in minus-five thanks to a birdie at the ninth.
On the back nine, Overton converted birdies at 11 and 13 to get to seven-
under. He did drop a shot at the 14th, but came back to birdie No. 17 to take
a two-shot lead after one round.
"I hit a lot of fairways to start off and put myself in excellent shape the
first few holes," said Overton, a member of the 2005 U.S. Walker Cup team. "I
hit the ball great all day and was able to clean up my putts inside 10 feet.
Whenever you're making all of your putts inside 12, 15 feet, with the
exception of the last hole, you're going to play well."
Overton has been struggling this season as he has made 11 of 22 cuts and has
just one top-10 finish. He is coming off a missed cut at the Canadian Open and
a share of 70th at the British Open, but the prior two events were his best of
the year.
The 25-year-old tied for ninth at the AT&T National and shared 24th at the
John Deere Classic. Overton's best tour finish came at the 2007 Wyndham
Championship, where he tied for second place.
Gore and Mize were joined in a share of sixth place by Cameron Beckman, Carlos
Franco, Jay Delsing, Ian Leggatt, Mathias Gronberg, Tag Ridings, Charles
Warren, Omar Uresti, Michael Allen, Kevin Streelman and Parker McLachlin.
Notah Begay III and Mark Brooks are among nine players one shot back at three-
under 69.
