Australia’s Pampling grabs early lead at Reno golf
AFP
Myself and my caddie were definitely working overtime making sure we got the right club. “Former PGA Championship winners Paul Azinger Steve Elkington and Shaun Micheel led a group of nine players at three-under 69. Defending Reno pen champ Parker McLachlin also shot 69 at the Montreux Golf and Country Club course. The Reno event has a modest field this year as most of the PGA Tour’s big names are competing at this week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron. Pampling stepped up his play Thursday after nailing a six-foot birdie putt at number four. He then sank a 10-footer for another birdie two holes later and posted his lone bogey at number nine. A bad tee shot by the two-time USPGA winner in high wind led to the bogey.

Players Cup Executive Director Tim McNeely said officials are pulling the plug on the event because The Greenbrier Classic – which is slated to feature the world's best golfers – would overshadow the secondary PGA outing and likely limit his ability to gather sponsorships. "It would supercede our event and rightfully so" McNeely said. "It's a great thing for West Virginia and America's resort. To host a PGA Tour event of that magnitude would overshadow our event.
