- Tim Petrovic has finally found a way to beat Mississippi's suffocating July heat without the help of air conditioning, sweet tea or a swimming pool.
He's doing it by playing good golf.
"When you're hitting it like I hit it today, making some putts, you don't tend to sweat so much," Petrovic said. "Makes your life a little easier."
Petrovic fired a 7-under 65 on Thursday morning in the first round of the Viking Classic at Annandale Country Club, joining John Mallinger, Brendon de Jonge, Peter Lonard, Sunghoon Kang and Bobby Gates in a six-way tie atop the leaderboard.
Frequent thunderstorms over the past several days left Annandale's Bermuda grass soft -- especially in the morning. The PGA allowed players to lift, clean and place balls in the fairway, which helped keep scores low throughout the day.
"When you get the ball in the hand all the time, you can be a little more aggressive at the flag," said Mallinger, who birdied six straight holes at one point during his morning round.
