KAPOLEI, Oahu — Fred Funk shot a 10-under 62 for a share of the lead with Paul Goydos in the Champions Tour’s Hawaii Championship.
Funk had 11 birdies and a bogey at Kapolei Golf Club.
“You’ve got to make a lot of birdies out here,” Funk said. “My putter came around. … Never seen greens this good. They’re pretty fast. They’re pristine.”
Goydos shot a 63 to match Funk at 15-under 129.
“Making the putt on No. 1 was key for me,” Goydos said. “A good thing happened!”
Corey Pavin and Vijay Singh were 13 under. Pavin birdied the last five holes for a 61, and Singh shot 65.
Tom Pernice Jr., the first-round leader after a 60, was in the group at 12 under after a 72.
Davis Love III followed his opening 69 with a 72 to drop into a tie for 57th at 3 under in his Champions Tour debut. The 20-time PGA Tour winner turned 50 in April.
