DeLaet off to a great start at Honda Classic

PGA Tour Honda Classic leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/leaderboard.html

Graham DeLaet has opened his bid to win the Honda Classic down at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens with a solid -4 66, and is in a large group 2 shots off the lead held by rookies Cody Gribble and Wesley Bryan who both posted -6 66.

MacKenzie Hughes and David Hearn are T41 -1 69. DeLaet went out in -4 31, and had 9 pars in a row, back in 35.

The Kaiser, Martin Kaymer looked very solid in his -5 65 T3, as did Indian star Anirban Lahiri.

Adam Scott is trying to defend his title as he opened with -2 68. He leads the tour in putting stats, which puts to rest all the media speculation that he would struggle when switching from the long handle.

This is the start of the Florida swing, except next week they move to a new venue for the WGC Mexico Championship after Cadillac withdrew their sponsorship at Doral.
