13 April 2012

Bob Tway and Heath Slocum both fired nine-under-par opening rounds of 61 to share the lead in the Texas Open in San Antonio.

They led by one shot from Australian Aaron Baddeley. Defending champion Loren Roberts was among a group of five players on six-under 64.

Slocum, 29, without a win on the US Tour, went out in a five-under 30 and added four more birdies on the back nine at LaCantera Golf Club's Resort Course to record the lowest round of his professional career.

Tway, 44, who won the Canadian Open earlier this season, scored seven birdies in a row between holes six and 12.
