• Fred Funk, making his first appearance on the Champions Tour since the FedEx Kinko's Classic in early May, carded a 5-under 65 today, his best opening round on the Champions Tour in 2008. He's a first-round leader for the third time in his brief career on the Champions Tour. On two previous occasions, Funk posted 65 in the opening round both times and went on to win. After the first round of the 2006 AT&T Championship, Funk led by one stroke over R.W. Eaks, Dan Pohl and Scott Simpson. At the end of the first round of the 2007 Turtle Bay Championship, Funk led by two strokes over five different players.
