Floyd Leads Seniors in Japan

Ray Floyd, making his senior debut in Kurimotomachi, Japan, shot a seven-under-par 65 Friday to take a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Fuji Electric Grandslam.

Floyd, 49, is not eligible to play on the Senior PGA Tour until he turns 50 in September.

Gary Player, playing his first tournament in Japan in 18 years because of the easing of South Africa’s apartheid policy, shot a 67 to share second place with Bob Reith of Canada.

Arnold Palmer opened with a 72 and Lee Trevino shot a 73.
