American golfer, Spencer Levin, is holding a one shot lead after shooting 67 in the opening round of the US PGA Tour Honda Classic 2011 at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on Thursday 3rd March 2011.
Levin, who’s score was good enough for three under par, leads from a cluster of five players on -2 who shot 68, including Stuart Appleby (Aus), Greg Chalmers (Aus), Charl Schwartzel (SA), Kyle Stanley (USA) and Y.E. Yang (Kor).
British golfer Lee Westwood was a little off the pace, shooting a level par round of 70.
However, all of the top 20 players – within 4 shots of the lead – competing have three more rounds to make it to the top of the leaderboard: there is a lot of golf left to be played in Florida before the Honda Classic 2011 winner is decided.
