LAS VEGAS (AP) ― Ryan Moore matched the course record and his career best with a 10-under 61 on Thursday in the first round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

The former UNLV player had nine birdies, an eagle ― on the 341-yard, par-4 15th ― and a bogey in perfect conditions at TPC Summerlin to take a one-stroke lead in the Fall Series opener.

Brendon de Jonge had a 62, and Tim Herron and John Huh shot 63. Justin Leonard, Chris Kirk and Jonas Blixt were three strokes back at 64. Kirk eagled the 15th and par-5 16th.

Moore also shot a 61 this season in the Humana Challenge on PGA West’s Nicklaus Course. The Las Vegas resident has seven top-10 finishes and is 36th on the money list. The final top 30 will receive spots in the Masters.

Grace breaks Dunhill course record

KINGSBARNS, Scotland (AP) ― South Africa’s Branden Grace made five closing birdies to shoot a course record 12-under 60 in the opening round of the Dunhill Links Championship on Thursday.

Grace, who has won three European Tour events this year, took full advantage of the superb scoring conditions at Kingsbarns, one of three courses hosting the $5 million event.

The 24-year old Grace’s score was two shots better than the 62 posted by England’s Lee Westwood on his way to victory in 2003.

While no player has recorded a 59 in the 40-year history of the European Tour, Grace is the 15th player to shoot 60.
