Mississauga, ON - Bradley Heaven and George Bradford both shot six-under 64 on Thursday to share the lead after one round of the inaugural Jane Rogers Championship.Bobby Smith had a five-under 65 to sit one shot off the lead, while nine players were another stroke further back at 64.Bradford used some nifty shotmaking on his ninth hole to salvage a par. After taking a drop, he knocked his approach shot to six inches to save par.He has missed five cuts in his last seven starts, so Bradford knows a first- round lead is only that -- a first-round lead.'It's more than a one-day tournament,' he said. 'But I'll take it. A 64 in any conditions is great. This is a marathon. You want to get off to a good start and stay focused the rest of the week.'Lee Curry was among the nine players tied for fourth place at 66. Like the rest of them, he found the 6,400-yard Lakeview Golf Course tougher than it looks on paper.'If you're on the wrong side of the hole, you're in trouble,' he said. 'For 6,400 yards, it's a tough track, no doubt about it.'Tadd Fujikawa, the teenager who made the cut at the PGA Tour's Sony Open in January, opened with a four-over 74. He is playing on a sponsor's exemption this week.© 2007 The Sports Network
