STATELINE, Nev. The first day of the American Century Championship came to a close with baseball great John Smoltz and Hall of Fame hockey player Mike Modano tied for the lead with 25 points.
Smoltz was paired with Joe Buck and Joe Mauer, a group he said was a lot of fun to play with.
Last year, Smoltz had the most pars, something he wasn’t proud of. This year, he turned it around by bagging five birdies in the first round. If Smoltz wins, he’d be the oldest champion.
