Lancaster enters second Nationwide Tour event

Neal Lancaster is listed in the published field of next week's Stadion Athens Classic at UGA on the Nationwide Tour.

He opted against honoring his commitment at this week's South Georgia Classic, but that may change next week. Again, we cannot stress enough that he's in no hurry to return from shoulder surgery. We're only keeping tabs on the veteran because he's fully exempt on the PGA TOUR as a 2009 Q School grad.

Three tied after Day 1 of the Stadion Athens Classic

Bradley Iles considers himself one of the better putters on the Nationwide Tour, but even he wouldn't have predicted how well his putter would serve him on Thursday.

The New Zealander is locked in a three-way tie for first place at the Stadion Athens Classic at UGA after a 5-under 66 in the first round. That score - which included four consecutive birdies to conclude the round - was possible because he tied for the fewest putts, with only 25 in the entire round.
