Streb leads Wells Fargo
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 16 - 05 - 2015

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Robert Streb shot a 7-under 65 Thursday to take a one-shot lead over Patrick Reed and Kevin Chappell after the first round of the Wells Fargo Championship.
Stewart Cink topped the six-player group at 67.
Top-ranked Rory McIlroy appeared on the verge of making a late run at the leaderboard before making a double bogey on the difficult par-3 17th hole. McIlroy appeared stunned when his tee shot hit the rock wall in front of green and his ball caromed high into the air and into the water. He finished with a 70.
Phil Mickelson had his troubles too after a fast start. Mickelson opened with three birdies, but made a double bogey on the 18th hole. He shot 71, leaving him six shots back.
Fisher in front in Spain
Trevor Fisher of South Africa led the Spanish Open by one shot after the opening round Thursday.
His eight birdies were spoiled only by a bogey in his 7-under-par 65 at Real Club de Golf El Prat.
Fisher, who won his first European Tour title in March at the Africa Open, said he “hit one or two loose shots” but felt he “putted really well.”
In a tie for second, a shot back, were Tommy Fleetwood of England, Eduardo de la Riva of Spain, and Darren Fichardt of South Africa.
Miguel Angel Jimenez, who became the oldest champion on the tour at 50 when he won this title last year, finished on level-par 72, while Sergio Garcia carded 75 with six bogeys.
Klatten leads Kingsmill Championship
France's Joanna Klatten had five birdies in a six-hole stretch and finished with a 6-under 65 Thursday to take the first-round lead in the LPGA Tour's Kingsmill Championship.
Klatten birdied Nos. 3-6 and 8 and closed with a par on No. 9 on Kingsmill Resort's River Course. The 30-year-old former Georgia State player is winless in 27 career events on the LPGA Tour.
Morgan Pressel, Alison Lee and Pat Hurst were a stroke back, and So Yeon Ryu, Paula Creamer, Jacqui Concolino and Perrine Delacour followed at 67.
Michelle Wie withdrew because of a left hip injury after a 78. She had a double bogey, six bogeys and one birdie.
Third-ranked Stacy Lewis opened with a 69, and top-ranked Lydia Ko and Canadian teen Brooke Henderson shot 71. — Agencies
