| | Eriksson in semifinal action Saturday (17th Dec 16 at 9:03am UTC) | | | SNOQUALMIE, Wash. -- Bart Bryant got off to a fast start in his bid to win consecutive Champions Tour titles, shooting a 6-under 66 on Friday to take the first-round lead in the Boeing Classic. Bryant had eight birdies and two bogeys at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, five days after winning the Dicks Sporting Goods Open in Endicott, N.Y., for his first victory in his rookie season on the 50-and-over tour. "It was a good way to start. I wish I could have hung on there late. Kind of ran out of steam the last few holes, but overall, a great day," Bryant said. "Ill take a 66 every day for the rest of my life." Bryant opened with a birdie and added four in a row on Nos. 3-6. He bogeyed the par-4 seventh, rebounded with birdies on Nos. 11, 13 and 14, and had another bogey on the par-3 17th. On the 210-yard, par-3 13th, he holed out from a bunker. Bryant did not play much during his final four years of PGA Tour eligibility because of two surgeries on his left wrist. The first one didnt work and, after the second one, he said, "I was beginning to think this might be it." "I was not really hopeful to play again," he said, "but the second time we did it, it worked. It seems like its holding together. It was just years and years of beating it up. I lost all the cartilage in there. The bones started rubbing. So they went in there and fused one big bone." Duffy Waldorf and Bobby Clampett shot 67, and Bernhard Langer, Dick Mast and Kirk Triplett followed at 68. Langer tied the course record with a 5-under 31 on the front nine. Hometown favourite Fred Couples opened with a 69. Waldorf, who tied for sixth last year in the event in his Champions Tour debut, chipped in from a bunker behind the green for an eagle on the 498-yard, par-5 18th. Triplett, who grew up in Eastern Washington, had four birdies in a bogey-free round. Kenny Perry, No. 1 in the Charles Schwab Cup standings, struggled to a 70. Mark Calcavecchia hurt his back on the 12th hole and withdrew. Troy Aikman Jersey .

"But big misses at the wrong time, and those will obviously kill you in the big games." The Canadian team -- including third Pat Simmons, second Carter Rycroft and lead Nolan Thiessen -- took an early lead by opening with a deuce. But Sweden rallied with four in the second after a freeze attempt by Koe came up short. "Just one bad miss -- thats all it took," said Koe.

"Im a little devastated right now," said Rycroft. "I dont know what it was, if it was a lack of confidence on our part or still not trusting the ice. "But we missed way too many shots on the wrong side. Good curlers missing easy shots is not going to win you many games." Canada has won 49 world curling championship medals, including 34 gold. Nine times Canadians have settle for silver and bronze on six occasions. "Well show up and try our hardest to win," said Koe. "I mean, itll be hard, were disappointed -- we came here thinking wed be in that gold-medal game . . . but well be trying to win a medal."
