Denver-area resident David Duval and stepson Nick Karavites shot an 11-under-par 61 to grab the lead after Saturday’s opening round of the PNC Father/Son Challenge at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Grande Lakes in Orlando, Fla.
Duval, a former world No. 1, and Karavites will go into Sunday’s final round with a one-stroke advantage over Fred and Taylor Funk. Five teams posted 63s in the scramble format on Saturday.
Hale and Steve Irwin, both former University of Colorado golfers, fired a 5-under 67 in round 1. The Irwins, the only team to have remained intact for all 19 Father/Sons, won this tournament in 2003.
Sunday’s final round will be televised by the Golf Channel from noon to 1 p.m., and by NBC from 1-4 p.m. (MT).
