Putter search pays off for Estes

Posted: Friday October 26, 2007 06:53AM ET

Bob Estes spent two days this week trying out new putters, looking for one that just felt right. He succeeded. Estes birdied six consecutive holes -- his longest streak of the season and one shy of his career best -- for a nine-under 64 that left him tied for the lead with Tommy Armour III yesterday in the opening round of the Ginn sur Mer Classic at a soggy Tesoro Club. Play was suspended because of darkness, keeping 22 players from finishing, but Armour decided to complete the 18th. He made a 10-footer for a birdie-birdie-birdie finish, and was nine under after one round for the first time.
