PITTSBURGH -- John Huston shot a 5-under 65 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in the Senior Players Championship. Huston started on No. 10 and was even par halfway through his round before making a big move on the front nine at soggy Fox Chapel. Huston shot 5-under 30 coming in, including four birdies and an eagle on the short par-4 seventh. The 52-year-old Huston missed three months this season because of lower back problems. Fred Couples, Duffy Waldorf, Fred Funk and Russ Cochran were a stroke back in the third major on the Champions Tour schedule. Tom Pernice Jr. had three straight birdies to start his round and led a group of five players at 67. The start of play was delayed nearly five hours because of heavy rain. When the sky cleared the soft greens allowed players to be aggressive on the typically treacherous greens at the rolling course located a few miles up the Allegheny River from downtown Pittsburgh. Nobody did more damage than Huston. The seven-time PGA Tour winner got his round going with a tap-in birdie on the par-5 18th, kickstarting a stretch where he made five birdies in a span of seven holes, including a 40-footer on No. 6. He capped the run by driving the green at the 295-yard par-4 seventh and sinking the 25-footer for eagle to vault him into the lead. The putts gave Huston a welcome confidence boost after spending three months getting treatment on his back. He returned last week and finished 32nd at the Encompass Championship then took a couple days off to rest up. He only found the fairway nine times but was bailed out by his putter. Huston came into the tournament ranked 54th on tour in putting average but had little trouble once things started falling. Couples, searching for his first victory of the season, put together three birdies on the back nine, including one on the 18th that pulled him within a shot of the lead. Couples finished fourth at Fox Chapel last year, faltering on the weekend to finish four shots behind winner Joe Daley. Points leader David Frost, who edged Couples by a shot at the Regions Tradition three weeks ago to capture the first major of his 32-year career, bounced around all day before joining a large group at 68. Newly minted Hall of Famer Colin Montgomerie began his Champions Tour career with a steady 1-under 69. The 31-time winner on the European Tour started a little shaky, flying his approach shot on the 10th hole over the green. He scrambled for par and missed just one more green the rest of the day. Montgomeries debut was pushed back several hours after strong overnight storms left portions of the 6,696-yard course under water. Twice players were told to warm up only to be notified of a delay before things got going just after noon. Officials sent players off both the first and 10th tees, invoked the lift, clean and place rule and moved the tees up on a handful of holes to speed things along. Even the little nudge forward didnt always help. Tee shots plugged into fairways and approach shots went nowhere, helping bunching the field. Over half of the 81-player field finished at even or better, creating little separation. Sacramento Kings Jerseys .

NEW DELHI -- Dutee Chand made the time just in time.Less than six weeks before the Rio de Janeiro Games, Chand became the first female Indian sprinter in 36 years to qualify for the Olympics.She ran the 100 meters at an international meeting in Almaty, Kazakhstan, in 11.24 seconds, well under the Olympic qualifying standard of 11.32.She was the silver medalist in the race, a year after the Court of Arbitration for Sport issued a landmark ruling that challenged her suspension for hyperandrogenism, a condition which produces higher than normal testosterone levels in women.It has been a tough year for me. My hard work and that of my coach has paid off, a relieved Chand said in Almaty after winning her heat.Chand was suspended two years ago by the IAAF because of hyperandrogenism. But with the support of a group of lawyers and sports enthusiasts, Chand appealed to the Switzerland-based Court of Arbitration for Sport, saying her suspension was discriminatory and against the spirit of sport.Last year, sports highest court decided in her favor, ordering the IAAF to suspend the regulations for two years to allow athletics global body to gather evidence as to whether hyperandrogenism offers a performance advantage.Chand will be only the second female Indian sprinter to run in the Olympics. P.T. Usha competed in the 100 and 200 at the 1980 Moscow Games, but Chand will be the first since qualification standards were introduced at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.For Chand, it has been a long hard journey to Rio.The daughter of poor weavers in the eastern state of Orissa, she fought poverty beefore her athletic talent was noticed by state sports authorities.ddddddddddddAt 18, Chand had just returned from winning two gold medals at the Asian junior championships and was looking forward to representing India at the world junior championships and the Commonwealth Games in Scotland when she was dropped from the team because of the excessive but naturally occurring testosterone.After CAS ruling last July, she and her coach Nagapuri Ramesh moved to the southern city of Hyderabad to begin a punishing regime to qualify for Rio.Dutee has great resilience. For her to continue performing while under so much pressure and so much scrutiny, is remarkable, says Payoshni Mitra, Chands government-appointed adviser, who lobbied for Chands reinstatement to competition.Her case was similar to that of South African 800-meter runner Caster Semenya, who was sidelined from competition for almost a year after winning the 2009 world championship at age 18. Semenya was eventually cleared by the IAAF, and won a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics. She will be in Rio, too.At Almaty on Saturday, local Viktoriya Zyabkina won the 100 in 11.15, and Chand trailed in a relieving 11.244.There was pressure to qualify for the Olympics and I was tense but now, as I have qualified, my dream has come true, Chand was quoted as saying in The Indian Express newspaper. I now hope to enter the final at the Olympic Games.---Follow Nirmala George at: twitter.com/NirmalaGeorge1 ' ' '
