KAPALUA, Hawaii — Sandy Lyle of Scotland shot a bogey-free, seven-under-par 65 Wednesday for a one-stroke lead over Andy Bean in the first round of the $600,000 Kapalua International golf tournament.
Nick Faldo of England, the British Open champion, was still on the Bay course at dark and has a chance to move within a stroke of the lead when he returns to complete play this morning. Faldo, the only man unable to finish his round, was five under par and had a birdie putt of about seven feet on the 18th green.
Lanny Wadkins and Payne Stewart were tied at 67 in the chase for a $150,000 first prize. Jack Nicklaus, making a rare, late-season appearance, was at 73.
