Conover, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - Jay Haas and Joe Durant both fired 8-under 64s on Friday and they share the lead after the opening round of the Greater Hickory Kia Classic at Rock Barn. Haas won this title in 2005 and 2009. Durant is a Champions Tour rookie, who is looking for his first win since 2006, when he won in Disney World on the PGA Tour. Roger Chapman, who won two majors in 2012, and Scott Dunlap share third place and are two strokes off the lead at minus-6. Bill Glasson, who matched the course record with his final-round 61 last year, opened with a 5-under 66. He was joined in fifth place by Rocco Mediate, Kirk Triplett, John Riegger and Mike Goodes. Defending champion Michael Allen and 2010 winner Gary Hallberg headline a group of eight players tied at minus-4. Haas got off to a quick start with a 15-foot eagle putt on the first. After a birdie at three and four, Haas dropped his approach shot to 12 feet at the fifth. He converted that putt for birdie and followed with his fourth straight birdie at the sixth, which got him to 6-under par through six holes. Pretty nice start, pretty magical start there, Haas said. Haas ran off four consecutive pars from the seventh. Starting at the 11th, the 16-time Champions Tour winner birdied three of four holes to gain a piece of the lead at minus-8. However, Haas 3-putted for bogey at the par-4 15th. After pars at 16 and 17, Haas had a chance to take the lead at the last, but his birdie effort from about 12 feet out stayed above ground. I played well all day. I couldnt be happier, admitted Haas. Durant saved par at the 10th to start his round and followed with a birdie putt on No. 11. He found a hazard at the 14th that led to a bogey. After a birdie on 16, Durant tripped to a 3-putt bogey at the 17th. He quickly atoned for that mistake with a birdie on No. 18 and that started a great run. Durant dropped his second shot at the par-5 first to eight feet and he rolled in that eagle effort. He followed with back-to-back 15-foot birdie putts at two and three to move to minus-5. He converted a 12-foot birdie try at five and made it two in a row as he also birdied the sixth. After a pair of pars, Durant drained a 12-foot birdie putt at the ninth, his last, to finish at 8-under. I had a good stretch of holes there from 18 thru the sixth, said Durant, who played on the PGA, Champions and Web.com Tours this year. I really putted well today. These next couple of weeks are really important for me. NOTES: Haas last won on the Champions Tour at the 2012 Principal Charity Classic ...
