Zoeller leads Senior Slam SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN, Ariz. (AP) – Fuzzy Zoeller shot a 5-under-par 67 Saturday for a three-stroke lead after one round in the Senior Slam.
Zoeller birdied three of the first six holes to overtake Don Pooley, made birdie at Nos. 10 and 16 and parred the 18th hole by two-putting from 40 feet, sinking a 5-foot comebacker to preserve his lead.
“I haven’t played the course enough to know which greens are fast,” the PGA Seniors’ Championship winner said. “I’m putting back up the hole into the mountain, I’ve got to think it’s kind of slow. It kind of caught me off-guard.”
Pooley and Stewart Ginn shot 70s on Superstition Mountain’s 7,140-yard Lost Gold Course, and Jim Thorpe offset five birdies with three bogeys and a double bogey for 72.
