San Jose Sharks Captain Joe Pavelski leads American Century Championship

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE - The leader after the first round of play in the American Century Championship is San Jose Sharks captain Joe Pavelski. He scored a 25 in the modified stableford scoring system used in the 29th annual tournament.

Former quarterback (and former Incline Village resident) Trent Dilfer is one point off the lead. He is coming off left knee surgery an feeling pretty good. "I didn't realize how much pain I'd been in the last five, six, seven years playing golf," he said.

John Smoltz and Mark Rypien are currently tied for third, with Andrew Bachelder, a wounded veteran who was the winner of the Warrior Open, right behind them.

During Friday's Korbel Closest-to-the-Pin, Derek Lowe won the event being 7'11" away from the pin on 17. SOS Outreach, serving youth around the lake, won $5,000 from Korbel.
