Zurich Classic Day 1

The Zurich Classic of New Orleans started up yesterday. After the first day American; Rickie Barnes was in the lead at an impressive (-8) 64 with Lucas Glover (USA) and Boo Weekley (USA) just one stroke behind.

Other notable big names on the leader board are South African; Ernie Els trailing just 3 shots back after the first day and American; Rickie Fowler (-5) 67 who was tied for 3rd with 9 other players.

Defending champ Jason Dufner (USA) is 6 shots back at (-2) 70.

Another big story is the 14 year old from China; Tianlang Guan who was in the clubhouse Thursday with (E) 72 and is in front of 2012 Masters champ Bubba Watson (+1).

I'm from Utah so I like to see how the local guys are doing and they are not doing very good, Mike Weir finished the first day at (E) at 72, and Daniel Summerhays finished with a (+4) 76.

You can follow the leader board online at http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/zurich-classic-of-new-orleans/leaderboard.html

I will post more about it after the tournament is over!

Thanks for reading!
