Kuramoto leads in tough conditions at Senior PGA

On a day that yielded just one under-par round, Massy Kuramoto carded a 1-under 71 in Thursday's first round and he leads the Senior PGA Championship by one shot.

Difficult weather conditions combined with a challenging golf course saw Kuramoto finish day one as the only player under par on the Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort. Kuramoto has never won on the Champions Tour.

Defending champion Colin Montgomerie carded an even-par 72 and he is tied for second alongside Billy Andrade, Barry Lane, Jean Francois Remesy and Bart Bryant.

Fourteen players are tied for seventh at 1-over 73, including 2011 champion Tom Lehman and Bernhard Langer, who won two major titles last season.
