Darren Clarke, Michael Wright lead Chubb Classic after opening 7-under 65s<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cIt just shows it’s pretty difficult to do that out here,\u201d Toms said. \u201cYou can never take it for granted. Three-round tournaments, guys are shooting low every day. The only reason I didn’t shoot 5- or 6-under today was because of the wind. It made it tough for everybody. I’ve been fortunate to win a few times, and this is obviously a good way to start the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI played nice and hit some good shots\u2026.hit a few loose ones, too,\u201d McNeill said. \u201cPutting was tough most of the day today, just because of the wind. The greens were drying out and getting a little quick and firm.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a ton of fun out here, but still very competitive. There are a lot of great players out here, as can be seen from the leaderboard. But, just getting my feet wet here in Naples where I was born is almost like a storybook start for me. A win would’ve been fantastic. But, just to get started back in competitive golf and back in competition was awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n
