SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Nev. — Carolina Panthers receiver Adam Thielen took a one-point lead over playing partner Mardy Fish on Friday after the first round of the American Century Championship.
“It makes it easy playing with a guy like this that is so consistent and good tempo, makes good shots all day,” Thielen said about Fish, a former tennis player. “So, definitely helped me with my mindset and just kind of sticking with it.” Charles Barkley had two front-nine birdies in a three-point round — the first time in tournament history that he has had positive points. The former NBA star was tied for 48th.“I had a great time,” Barkley “It’s the best I’ve ever probably played anywhere, probably. But I played really well. I was really confident. I played great today, and I’m really looking forward to the next couple days”
