Quigley's 62 leads at 3M Championship
by The Associated Press

BLAINE -- Dana Quigley shot a tournament-record 10-under 62 and leads after the first round of the Champions Tour's 3M Championship yesterday.

Gene Jones shot a season-best 64, and is two shots back. Jeff Sluman birdied four of his last five holes to join R.W. Eaks at 7 under.

Quigley matched his career low score in 11 years on the tour. He attributes his recent success on the green to switching to a belly putter a month ago, and changing to a more traditional right-handed grip. He had used a cross-handed style throughout his Champions Tour career.

The combination of Thursday's rain and little wind enabled the field to continue posting low scores on the 7,100-yard course, just as they did during practice and pro-am rounds.

The tournament continues today.
