ORLANDO, Fla., Sept.

Rod Pampling, seeking his first PGA Tour win in three years, grabbed a one-shot lead Thursday in the opening round of the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open. Pampling shot a 5-under 67 at the Montreux Golf and Country Club, opening a bid for his third career tour triumph.

Jason Gore's 8-under-par 65 Thursday left him with a one-stroke lead over Tim Herron and Jeff Overton at the PGA's Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando. Gore, starting on the back nine at the Bay Hill golf course, combined four birdies with one bogey, 11 pars, and an eagle at the par-5 12th hole. Australia's Stuart Appleby leads a group of six at 3-under 67, tied for fourth. Defending champion and five-time invitational winner, Tiger Woods, shot 2-under 68, joining six others in a tie for 10th place. I held it together with some up and downs towards the end of the front nine, Woods said. One player with Woods is Rocco Mediate, who lost an epic 19-hole playoff to him at last year's U.S.
