HUNTINGTON, W.Va. Defending champion Pat Carter, Harold Payne and Craig Heinaman are tied for the lead after the first round of the West Virginia Senior Open played Sunday at Guyan Golf & Country Club.
The three each shot even-par 71 on the course that proved to be a tough test on how to handle the greens.
“I’ve never seen Guyan play like this,” said Carter, a former Guyan member who now plays out of Berry Hills Country Club in Charleston. “It’s a demanding course and the whole field will attest to that. It’s as difficult I’ve ever seen Guyan play. Give me seventy-one on both days if it stays like this.”
