MEMPHIS, May 25 (UPI) -- After a 6-under 64 on Thursday, Chris Smith is the leader after one round of the PGA's St. Jude Classic at Memphis.
He has a two-shot advantage over D.A. Points, who is alone in second place after a 4-under 66.
The 1993 PGA Champion Paul Azinger and Tom Pernice Jr. are tied for third place at 3-under 65.
Smith got his only win on the PGA Tour at the 2002 Buick Classic.
"Today I actually made some putts, which is always fun for me," said Smith. "It doesn't happen on a real regular basis, and my putter felt great. I made some long ones and everything just kind of happened. (But) the golf course is playing tough. I'm not sure what happened. Everything started clicking together and working. I was playing well and I kind of felt like that all year."
His earnings for the year -- $39,020 -- make him 207th on the money list.
