Vegans go in opposite directions at Amateur
Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2001 | 10:17 a.m.
Robert Godfrey tied a course record with a 7-under-par 63 and Lucas Glover, playing a different course, shot an 8-under 64 Monday in the opening round of stroke play at the 101st U.S. Amateur at Atlanta.
Godfrey, 27, of Clemson, S.C., birdied the first three holes at East Lake Golf Club and stood at 9-under after 16 holes. He bogeyed Nos. 17 and 18 but still matched the course record set by Vijay Singh at the 1998 Tour Championship.
Glover, 21, a two-time All-American at Clemson, shot his 64 at Druid Hills Golf Club, which played far easier than East Lake. Of the 50 players who finished the day under par, 37 played at Druid Hills.
Scott Wingfield of Las Vegas, a former UNLV player, put himself in the hunt by shooting a 3-under-par 69 on the Druid Hills course. Not so fortunate was Bonanza High School graduate Billy Harvey, who struggled to a 5-over 75 at East Lake.
Stroke play concludes today, with the top 64 playersadvancing to match play. The 36-hole final will be Sunday at East Lake.
