CARY, N.C., Sept. 21 (UPI) -- Mark Wiebe, in his first round ever on the Champions Tour, fired a 7-under 65 Friday to share the lead after 18 holes of the SAS Championship at Car, N.C.
Wiebe, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, birdied his first two holes and wound up tied for the top spot with Boonchu Ruangkit.
