BETHESDA, Md. (UPI) -- Steve Marino, seeking his first PGA Tour
victory in his third year on the circuit, grabbed a one-shot lead
Thursday in the first round of the AT&T National.
Marino birdied three of the first four holes and shot a 5-under 65 at
the Congressional Country Club. His best finish to date on the tour
has been a second, which came in Mexico earlier this year while the
world's top players were competing in the Accenture Match Play
Championship.
Jeff Overton, Frank Lickliter, Rod Pampling and Bob Estes were all at
66 while the large group at 67 included Stuart Appleby, Alex Cejka and
Anthony Kim.
Masters champion Trevor Immelman and Rocco Mediate, who lost to Tiger
Woods in a playoff at last month's U.S. Open, both shot 73 and will
need a good score on Friday to make the 36-hole cut.
Marino has three top-10 finishes to his credit this year and is 50th
on the FedEx Cup points list.
The highest-rated player on that list in the field this week is
sixth-ranked Ryuji Imada, who shot a 74 in the opening round.
