MADISON, Miss., Sept. 28 (UPI) -- D.J. Trahan has a two-shot lead after the first round of the PGA's Southern Farm Bureau Classic at Madison, Miss.
On Thursday, Trahan, who has never won on either the PGA or European Tour, and has a rank of 125 on the PGA Tour, shot 7-under-par 65.
He is two shots better than a trio of players -- Gabriel Hjertstedt, Glenn Day, and Nick Watney.
They are tied for second at 5-under 67.
"It's night and day out here, it's unbelievable," said Trahan, who was one of a number of players criticizing the Bermuda greens installed this summer on the course at the Annandale Golf Club.
Six players -- Ted Purdy, Brad Faxon, Jason Gore, Mathias Gronberg, Skip Kendall, and Henrik Bjornstad -- are tied for fifth place at 4-under 68.
Defending champion Heath Slocum opened with a 5-over 77.
