Four Share Lead After One Round at Doral
Toned down from a controversial redesign that kept top players from coming back, the Doral-Ryder Open had a familiar look to it Thursday--low scores and familiar faces on the leader board at Miami.
Bruce Lietzke had eight birdies in a round of seven-under 65 that left him tied after the first round with Vijay Singh, Jim Furyk and Harrison Frazar.
Phil Mickelson, Nick Price and Bernhard Langer were among the six players a stroke back.
Erik Compton, the first heart-transplant recipient to play the PGA Tour, had a 72.

England’s Lee Westwood and Argentina’s Jose Coceres shot course-record 64s to share the first-round lead in the Dubai Desert Classic at Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland finished at one-under 71.
