Quigley's 10-under 62 gives him a 2-shot leadThe Associated Press
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 07.19.2008
BLAINE, Minn. — Dana Quigley shot a tournament-record 10-under 62 Friday to take the lead after the first round of the Champions Tour 3M Championship.
Gene Jones shot a season-best 64 and was two shots back. Jeff Sluman birdied four of his last five holes to join R.W. Eaks at 7 under.
Quigley got up and down from 78 yards after putting his second shot in the water on the par-5 sixth hole, then chipped in for par from heavy rough on No. 8.
"It's hard to trash nine birdies and an eagle, but that save on eight was the whole turning point for the round," he said.
Quigley went 6 under over his next five holes, including holing out from 84 yards on No. 12 for an eagle.
Birdies at 15 and 16 got him to 10 under before he bogeyed No. 17. He knocked a 5-wood to within 12 feet on the 18th, but his eagle putt missed left. He tapped in for birdie.
Ed Dougherty, Gary Hallberg, John Harris and Loren Roberts were four shots back after shooting 66s.
Peter Jacobsen, Bernhard Langer and David Ogrin shot 67s.

MILWAUKEE — First-round leader Richard S. Johnson shot a 3-under-par 67, and Nick Flanagan had a 63 to share the second-round lead at 10 under par at the U.S. Bank Championship.
Kent Jones and Gavin Coles were tied for third one shot back of the leaders. Jones shot a 65 and Coles had the low round of the tournament at 62, one shy of the course record.
Another stroke back at 132 were Troy Matteson and Ken Duke, who both shot 65s.
LPGA Tour
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Christina Kim's second-round 68 at the State Farm Classic looked ordinary compared to her opening 63, but it included a birdie putt on her last hole that gave her a one-stroke lead over Michelle Wie and three others.
Kim bogeyed the par-5 sixth hole and saved par on her opening hole only after finding the green with her second shot from behind a line of trees well off the fairway.
Right behind her is Wie, 18, playing easily her best golf of the year while shooting a 65 that pulled her to 12 under.
