GREAT START Sahith Theegala plays his shot from the seventh tee during round one of the Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson on Friday (Manila time) in Jackson, Mississippi. AFP PHOTOJACKSON, Mississippi: California rookie Sahith Theegala carved his tee shots into play and made it look easy from there Thursday (Friday in Manila) for an 8-under 64 and a one-shot lead over Nick Watney and Harold Varner 3rd in the Sanderson Farms Championship. Theegala missed three fairways but was out of position just once at the Country Club of Jackson. It also was a big start for Watney, coming off one of his worst seasons. He is drained from last week, when he set the Ryder Cup record for most matches won in a European loss.
