Stricker four-under after first round at The Memorial

Talk about it

DUBLIN, Ohio - Madison golfer Steve Stricker shot a four-under-par 68 today in his first round at the PGA’s The Memorial tournament.

Stricker was tied for fourth as of early this afternoon. But Madison’s Jerry Kelly couldn’t say the same. He shot a six-over-par 78 in his opening round on the famed Jack Nicklaus course – and that tied him for 109th. Pewaukee native Mark Wilson is part of the afternoon group. He was at two-over-par after five holes. Chris Riley is the clubhouse leader at six-under.
