LAS VEGAS -- Jonas Blixt birdied six of the last seven holes Saturday for a 5-under 66 and a share of the lead with Ryan Moore and Brendon de Jonge in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Moore had a bogey-free 65, and de Jonge birdied four of the last five for a 66 to match Blixt at 19-under 194 in the Fall Series opener at TPC Summerlin. "Today was just a good solid day," Moore said. "I didnt do anything amazing, but at the same time, I just did what Ive been doing this whole week, just put it in play, gave myself a bunch of wedges, 9-irons into greens, and was able to convert a bunch of my reasonable birdie chances." Moore, a former UNLV player who lives in Las Vegas, won the 2009 Wyndham Championship for his lone PGA Tour title. Blixt, from Sweden, and de Jonge, from Zimbabwe, are winless on the tour. The three leaders played in the same group. "It was great today," Blixt said. "Theyre both great guys, was very relaxed out there, and I just had a good time. Then they ran away a little bit, and then I got lucky, I got hot in the end and made some putts and was able to catch them in the end there. Im really looking forward to tomorrow." Moore shot a 61 to take the first-round lead, then slipped a stroke behind Blixt and de Jonge on Friday with a 68. "Its nice playing next to guys that are playing well and making putts," Moore said. "Sometimes it makes that hole look even bigger when you see them just keep dropping. Thats what was happening, especially on the back nine today. Both of them got rolling and made a bunch of birdies in a row, and I kind of threw in a couple here and there and kind of stayed there with them. "Theyre both great guys to play with. Ive played with Brendon quite a bit, but it was the first time Ive played with Jonas. I enjoyed talking to him and Im looking forward to tomorrow." De Jonge agreed. "When everyone is playing well you can feed off each other, and I think we did a good job of that today, saw a lot of putts go in," he said. "Everyone played well, and hopefully well have more of the same tomorrow." Jimmy Walker and Tim Herron were five strokes back. Walker had a 66, and Herron shot 68. John Daly, tied for sixth at 10 under after a season-best 63 on Friday, had a 15-over 86 to drop to last among the 72 players who made the cut. He had a quadruple bogey, a triple bogey, two double bogeys, six bogeys and two birdies in his worst round of the season. "I cant remember a time when I had a stretch of so many bad holes, where I hit a couple bad shots but didnt really hit that many bad shots. This course, everybody shoots it low, but theres times where nothing just goes right. I short-sided myself all day. If I missed a green, I had the most impossible chips. I couldnt make a 4-footer today, and I had the lefts going. Usually if I miss the ball, its right, so that confused me a little bit. Its almost you get off to a start like that, your body just almost goes into shock, and every time I tried to hit a cut, Id hit a pull, and every time Id try to hit a draw, Id flare it right." At 132nd on the money list, the two-time major champion is trying to move into the top 125 to secure full playing privileges for next season. "Its just a rough day," Daly said. "Just a tough day." David Hearn (69) of Brantford, Ont., is 13 shots off the place in a tie for 40th. De Jonge wasnt worried about dwelling on his lofty position on the leaderboard. "No, in Vegas, I definitely wont be thinking about the tournament," de Jonge said. "Theres a lot of other stuff to do in this place. It wont be hard to get away from it all. Thats whats nice about playing a tournament in a place like this. Its very easy to get away from golf once youre done. Cheap NFL Jerseys Paypal .
