Quinney and Gainey take lead position at Wyndham

American golfers Jeff Quinney and Tom Gainey both shot superb rounds of 63 as they took the lead after the first day of the Taylormade r11 Driver for sale Wyndham Championship.

Quinney spent much of the day leading the pack after hitting a hot streak of five consecutive birdies from the 12th onwards at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina whilst Gainey didn’t drop a shot the entire round.

As the Wyndham Championship is the last PGA Tour event before the lucrative end-of-season FedExCup playoffs — where only the top 125 golfers in the world will compete — the Taylromade r11 driver race is on for the requisite points to appear.

And Quinney, who is looking for his first tour title, knows that anything less than victory won’t be enough.

Further down the leader board Irishman Padraig Harrington, South African Ernie Els and Englishman Paul Casey all made strong cases for their inclusion in the FedExCup.

Casey and Els both fired rounds of 65 to keep them two shots off the lead whilst Harrington’s one under par 69 gives him hope going into the second round.

In Europe Peter Lawrie tops the leader board at the Czech Open after shooting R11 driver  a six under par round of 66.

The Irishman, who finished runner up at the Prosper Golf Resort in Celadn last year, will hope to go one better after completing a near flawless first round.

“I had no bogeys, which always helps,” Lawrie told the Associated Press.
