Australian Andrew Buckle fired a 9-under 63 Thursday afternoon and grabbed a one-stroke lead after the opening round of the Nationwide Tour’s Chiquita Classic in suburban Cincinnati.
Buckle started his round at TPC River’s Bend with a bogey but chipped in for birdie on the next hole and then reeled off nine more birdies to take sole possession of the top spot, one in front of Cincy native Wes Homan, who was in the next-to-last group in the afternoon and birdied seven of his final 10 holes.
ussie Steve Dartnall, Texan B.J. Staten and Ohio State grad Ryan Armour share third place at 7-under 65 along with Georgia’s Josh Broadaway, who birdied five of his final six holes.
Five others, including Columbus native Kyle Reifers, are logged together at 6-under 66 and another 16 are jammed up at 5-under 67.
A total of 55 players posted sub-70 scores while 109 in the field of 156 are at par-or-better heading into Friday’s second round.
